Caliper sticking
My front drivers side brake pads have worn out sooner then the pass side....I have a sticking caliper :rolleyes: Would a good fluid flush clear it up...or should I just put a new set of calipers on the front?
Thanks...Larry :steering:

Re: Caliper sticking (69mako)
the stock rebuilt calipers are cheap so you might try that or you could rebuild your rember to ball hone the piston areas.Also They might just need to be cleaned real well make sure you pins arnt sticking so caliper cant float.I i replaced my pins and used marine grease on mine and it cleared the issue up.

Re: Caliper sticking (69mako)
If new caliper pins & lube doesn't fix the problem, I would replace the calipers on the front axle.
I have tried rebuilds them but usually not too effective as the cylinders pit and tend to not seal well after honed.
