Default BAD BRAKE BALANCE - SLOW PISTON

Car just failed its test on unbalanced front brakes.

Have taken the suspect caliper apart, cleaned and regreased the sliders, taken the piston out, cleaned and replaced that too, put back together and bled.

All seemed in good condition anyway, but the thing is still unbalanced. The piston is just slow at coming out, but moves ok with pedal pressure!

What else could it be?

Cheers, Daz

try a seal kit and possibly new pistons. It could also be a hose that is broken down internally restricting the flow to the calliper
