ok so its REALLY LOW quality (didnt check settings before shooting) but i think the brakes are dragging

even with the car turned on (yes i jacked up the *** end and spun the tire)
but it spun a little longer

 

Well, it seems it has too much resistance. Was it easy spinning it? I know on my 96, the wheel spins a lot more turn than yours. Handbrake all the way down? maybe there is some junk that got in between. Take off your caliper and spin it, sticky wheel bearing?

 

I'd say dragging just a bit more than normal. Might be normal tho. It's definitely not real bad.

 

not easy to spin, no

handbrake was all the way down

could you hear the scraping sound when the top of the H goes past the caliper??? i think the rotors may be warped? but i drive slow (ask 02 accord how slow i drive) haha

thats what i was thinking, the wheel bearings, idk if they are lifetime greased or if thats regular maintenance

 

Maybe you drive too slow...Try speeding it up a bit to get the grease moving around the bearing. Then report back with your findings. If that doesn't work, you can always grease up the brakes. That should keep them from dragging so much.

Oh yea, grease up the caliper pins, those could be causing the caliper to stick and drag.

 

could be warped, could be new pads maybe.

 

I dont think its the wheel bearing. Although it is sealed, it wont make noise spinning that slow unless its about to fall out. Another way to check for a wheel bearing that is on the way out, is to have someone spin the wheel, and you gently hold the traling arm. If the bearing is bad, you will feel the vibration through your arm.

It sounds to me like its time for new pads and rotors. It my be just the poor video quality, but the rotors look like they were very heated for quite some time, and perhaps the pads are now glazed. The rotor deffinatly sounds like its starting to warp based on the sound its making.

I would suggest new pads and rotors, and a caliper serive like suggested previously. lube the sliders on the caliper bracket and make sure that evertything is moving freely.
