Brake question
Ok, I have a 99 SH lude with about 74k miles now, I bough it a year ago with 44k. When I purchased it I didnt check the brakes to see what shape the pads were in. The front rotors are x-drilled, rears are solid blanks. Today I started to get a grind on my rear right rotor, I thought it was the wear indicator. Upon inspection it was metal to rotor no more pad left. Rotor is toast on that side, im not going to try to have it turned. I checked the other corners, and the pads in front need to be replaced soon and looked to be about equal wear.. the rear left looks fine. I don't think i have any warpage issues because the car was flawless under hard breaking and never showed any signs of vibration under any braking conditions. Would a rear warped rotor cause any vibration? Could a warped rear rotor cause that extreme wear? It doesnt sound like the caliper is stuck or anything like that. What could be causing that one side to eat brake pads?

Re: Brake question (Chuckles99SH)
Sounds like that happened to me a few months ago.. but my right side caliper locked up and the wheel got really hot.. i changed both calipers to be on the safe side.. you can take it out and reset the piston buy turning it with a screw driver.. there is a thread on here that has all the specifics

Re: Brake question (Kagelude)
Yea i have read the Helms, and understand how to compress the rear piston. I checked to see if my wheel was hot after the drive and it wasnt that bad not to the point that would cause concern, the rotor was hot but spit didnt hiss on it just quickly dried. Is there other ways to check if your caliper has seized?
