 I reckon one of my calipers has seized , but to be sure does anyone know what symptoms are likely to occur from that ??The car judders when braking and trys to go left ! the brake set up was new about 6mnths ago (pads and discs) surely they cant be worn already ? there is also a rather bad smell after a few miles driving !! cheers

seized calipers .. one of the things i now best....
how to tell if you have one buring metal smell... annoying sound at all speeds ... car pulls just a little to that one side.... when inspecting the caliper you see rust around the sliders ... and is imposiable to puttl pads out ... how to fix options one.. get reconditions calipers from toyota /parts store swap out .. option two .. get a impact hammer/ air hammer / what every you want to call it ... and tap the sliders till the caliper comes apart... then lub that baby up ... after you sand all the rust off.... get that bitch nice and smooth ... -------------------- |
