my dad has a 97 and we changed the lines pads and its not rubbin so what you guys think?? thx

 

97 teg that is

 

u guys need more info sry i dnt know much

 

Front or rear or both, and what does not rubbing mean, how did you determine? To get them or it hot, I assume that you mean from driving and braking. Some pads are thick, new and unbedded, and may have had a slight drag. Hot to touch or measured? Trying to get you to look farther and supply more info.

 

just the front and when u touch it its hot and i was just sayin that there was nothin rubbin that we can tell sorry i dont have much more info. but thx for the help man

 

You mean one hotter than the other, and do you mean first drive after changing?

 

Considering that the function of a brake is to dissipate kinetic energy into heat via friction, one would assume that brake components would be hot to the touch after use - the front moreso than the rear, since both static weight distribution and dynamic weight transfer under deceleration dictate that the front brakes bear a majority of the braking load.

In other words, it's normal.

Now, if you can feel a lot of heat radiating from the brake without touching it, then you likely have a sticking caliper.

 

ok thanks guys i guess thats it my dad dont seem 2 care so i guess its not that bad

 

depends on whether or not were talking about glowing red or just hot, the pads will always be floating just enough to touch the rotor barely at any given time due to fluid tension, if the fluid is old though, brake fluid absorbs water over time, when water gets hot, it expands, and it can move the pads closer to the rotor.
