Ok. so im in iowa, visiting some friends. on the drive out here, it would seem like the passenger side brake would be stuck, then after a bit it would let go and everything would be fine. Today, we drove to a neighboring town, and it was noticable that it was sticking. i could tell from acceleration, i could tell from shifting, i could tell from the fact that myt car wouldnt coast more than twenty feet without coming to a halt. so we went back, and got my buddies neon.

so i just got home, took it out to see if it was still sticking, and everything was fine. i can get a new caliper for 34 bux, and have it in in less than an hour. IS THAT THE PROBLEM? does that sound like what the problem is? it has been doing the on off sticking thing for about 2 weeks now, and when i stop afte it is sticking, i can obviously smell the brakes burning. and it only seems to be coming from the passenger side.


HELP. please. i leave for home tomorrow, and i want to change it if you think its the caliper, like i do. THANKS!!!

 

sounds like the caliper.

 

caliper

 

ok. well, im definately gonna get up and change it before i drive the 200 miles home. thanks guys.

 

check for leaks

you could also try flushing the barke system

 

well technically he shouldn't even have a tree in his brake system

 

yes technically but id rather look at the cheaper fixes first before i start buying parts
