Brake Problem

Lately my brakes have been taking a crap and i know i need new pads but something else is amiss. Whenever i make a left hand turn, the left brake caliper grabs on its own.. my foot is not on the brake at all. I know because i can hear the brakes squeel. Do you think the left caliper is bad? or is there some other process i need to do first to check. Is there anyone that rebuilds brembo calipers without charging one of my children or appendages.

If you can get the kit, rebuilding calipers is an easy process. I would suggest to do it yourself.

I would also suggest keeping up with your brakes more if the pad's are falling out and locking up. That puts you and other in danger, also calipers arent cheap

I had a buddy almost die from his rear pad falling out on his trans am and locking his car up on a bridge.

Maintenance > mod's
