Okay, two problems here:
a)my driver's side rear caliper is sticking. Greg @ AutoFirme just
recently diagnosed as bad cables, and replaced them and adjusted the
rear proportioning valve. He was obviously incorrect. Driving from
NY->MA last night, the car at times made a lot of vibration and
noise, other times quiet. The car is -obviously- braking from that
wheel; I can feel the body/suspension doing funny things, and the
wheel is hot as hell after just a few minutes driving. Other times,
the car will roll with a gentle push...there seems to be no pattern.
So, Greg suggested in a voicemail he left me this morning that it's a
stuck caliper and they're "easily rebuilt." Yhea, great.
So, what are some suggestions? I can try removing the rotor and
pushing+turning in the piston to free up whatever is causing the
sticking...getting a rebuilt unit sunday is probably going to be
impossible.
