C5 Brake question
I have noticed that with my car on my lift, my front wheels do not spin free! I can turn spin them but they stop in a quarter of a turn. I had the dealership look at the calipers and they cleaned the aligning pins on all four calipers. the rotors spun free..........I raced last weekend and again, while changing wheels, they (the front two) were draging again! I checked the aligning pins, they moved freely.....I grabbed the top and bottom of the caliper and pulled the top to me while pushing the bottom away....I moved in this motion three or four times freeing the pistons..........the wheel turned freely.
Question.......does this mean the pistons are sticking or could there still be a problem in the system, IE, proportioning valve, master cylinder, boost pump?
Any info will be greatly appreciated,
