Default Brake problems...

So, I just swapped out my front brake pads, turns out the shop that had done the brakes previously decided they would only shim three of the pads and not the fourth. Anyways, one of the pads (inside right, I think) is now rubbing, causing the car to pull. What do I need to adjust to take care of this?

I woud just bleed your brakes and put in new fluid. The cylinders will reset.

take the pads off and check them, cause you might have a seized caliper.. but you could also bleed it like he said.....CHECK THEM FIRST

Good point. Though improbable, it still happens occasionally.

Like those damn fan switch relays
