Brakes stuck on?

Mon, 01/10/2011 - 05:59 | steve

I've just replaced the front brake pads coz the right brakes were squealing (almost down to the metal) and I could hear what sounded like a bad wheel bearing... However after about 30 minutes of driving around town with new pads fitted, I'm feeling the same thing again! Like the right caliper is stuck on, causing wear on the pad and a loud shudder/scoring sound, when I apply the brake pedal the noise gets louder...

What's going on??? Help please!

What are my brakes???

Tue, 01/23/2007 - 10:16 | steve

The previous owner of my Cordia GSR was of the understanding that the front disks were upgraded to AC Cordia disks, but after needing to replace a caliper, I have found that they are infact different to those of AC Cordias... The wrecker found some matching calipers of a different brand and have since installed on my Cordia... Can anyone tell me what car my brakes are from?

Current Caliper: Mitsubishi AD54-24

Replacement Caliper from wrecker: PBR Y2.16, 25B, 87, 7
