I've just had my pads changed on my 330mm Alcons by a friend of mine who is a mechanic.
After the pads were fitted I was experiencing a very gentle binding on the front especially when turning a sharp right.
Drove out to a secluded spot to bed the pads in properly to see if that would eliminate the binding.
It was obviously the passengers side caliper because after driving a few miles without braking to cool down, the drivers side disc was cool but the passengers side was hot.
After the bed-in process it didn't seem as bad but it was still there.

What would be causing the binding, and do you think this would disappear after a few more miles, any ideas??

Cheers,

Could be a sticky piston, I had a similar problem with mr rear 2 pots. One of teh Piston boots had split allowing water & crap to seep in causing a build up on the piston thus not enabling it to retract properly.

Although if you Alcons are new that may not be the case.

Just a thought

O.M.

My Alcons are 18 months old.

After running about this morning the binding is still there

It could be something as silly as the new pad being slightly too thick, hence the binding. Don't quote me though.
get it checked out! Brakes are knida important.
