Hi,
My crx has been having alot of problems, i narrowed it down to one last problem that i'm not sure if it's mess up or not. When i take the crx out to drive around, after driving for a little bit and pressing the brakes, it somehow locks. I jacked up the crx and looked at all the brakes, front and rear. Turns out that the problem was coming from the right front calipers. Where the brake line goes into, That big " circle " i believe it's called a piston? We'll it doesn't move. It's just stuck at one place. If i'm correct, i believe it's suppose to move back and forward? We'll anyways. Someone correct me, cause i know the problem is coming from that right front caliper but not complete sure how the " piston " on the caliper works.

 

aww no helP! -_-

 

i say slap some new ones on both sides, if one let go the other might at anytime, dont mess around with brakes..

i know that doesnt answer ur question but its my 2cents

 

Just for future references, I need to know if the caliper is mess up or not. It's knowledge i'm looking for to gain. ^__^

 

The piston in the caliper works off of hydraulic pressure,
When you step on the pedal,It pushes a solid stream of fluid
which applies the pressure that stops the car..When you let off the pedal and release the pressure, the caliper should release as well..

When the caliper malfunctions,it will hold a constant pressure just like when the brakes are applied.. Cheapest solution will be a rebuilt caliper..

Also make sure the guide pins that attach the caliper are lubricated and the
caliper is able to move in and out...

 

thanks.!!
