Default Brake calliper or disk

As above,

got a problem with the drivers side disk or calliper.

i think its the calliper

its not binding as much as the passenger side.
its juddering slowing down at high speed but ok going slow ish

thus its causing it to clog up etc.

could this be the caliper ??

ive got ebc disks grooved and dimpled and pads on


cheers all

If you have got 4 pots on it the inside 2 pistons are prone to sticking they will need a good clean out. If one or more are sticking you can get a vibration.

Your brakes shouldn't be binding at all if one is thats your problem

sorted the problem out.
it wasnt a piston stuck,there was that much brake dust etc etc etc it stopped the brake pad sliding in and out.

stripped the pads out cleaned off where the pads slide and gave it a bit of a sand off and put some copper grease on where they slide and hey presto brakes are spot on.

going to do the other side next weekend.

cheers for the replys guys.

thanks craig
