ok well the front driverside brake started to make a terrible grinding noise last week so i inspected and the pads were shot, one was to the metal. on the passenger side the pads still had some life left.
anyways, i replaced the pads on both sides . while changing them the piston on the driver side was a real @$#$ to get to compress. i noticed the next day a smell, like the pads were burning up but thought maybe they just had to wear in or something, cuz the car was breaking and driving fine again.iknow...i know . well then my gf drove the car for a few days and last night she said it was ginding again like it had so i took it for a spin and it seems as though the pads have worn all the way down in a matter of days on the driver side. this i assume means the caliper is compressing and then staying compressed? if that is the case how do i fix this problem? thanks in advance

 

You have 2 options:

a. rebuild the caliper
b. buy a new caliper

 

werd. just go to pep boys and get a remanufactured one, like 40 bucks.

 

mine will grind for a day or two then it sems to stop for awhile i might just buy a new caliper

 

on my way to autozone... thanks guys
