Default 1992 Accord Rear Disc Brake Clamping (one side)

Hello Everyone,

I've recently noticed that my passenger side disc rear brake seems to be clamping quite more than usual, this side significantly wears down much more of the pad than the driver side in the rear. There also seems to be quite a lot of buildup of brake dust compared to the rest of the wheels (even more than the front). My car is a 92 EX so it comes with rear discs and ABS (which has been disabled) has anyone had a similar experience with this?

I once had a rear caliper that was dirty and sticking. Cleaned it up and it worked OK.

Cleaned it up? Did you just use brake cleaner? on the rotor?

No. I meant that I cleaned the caliper. The pins were dirty and sticking. Causing the piston to not retract properly. The rotor had nothing to do with it.
