I have been having hot brakes. Tonight I jacked up the car and put it in drive to see if one of the calipers was grabbing. The drivers side was fine however the passenger side was sticking or I thought. I had a friend of mine give it some gas. The half shaft on the passneger side didn't even turn until he got the engine at about 3k in rpm. He never put the brake on and the drivers side turned with no problem. The passenger side wouldn't turn at all in idle. So I turned the rotor and it was not sticking at all. The half shaft felt very loose to me on the passneger side. What would cause one half shaft to turn but not the other? It's like only having the drives side is doing any work. Thanks for any inputs.

an open diff.

 

yeah accords are one legged cars as are most of honda's and acura's lineup

 

so back to your "hot" brakes...

collapsing brake hoses? lube the sliding caliper pins?

you're better off jacking the car, putting in neutral, and spin by hand while your friend applies the brake
