Brake woes
Someone help. 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Lariat 2wd. Just installed a new set of front brakes and rotors. I got them as a kit from autoanything.com. The pads are Centric c-tek. Since the install, the brakes are bad to the bone. No pulling, no bouncing. Just perfect stops and will stop on a dime and give you 9 cents change. HOWEVER, the pads on the passenger side scrubs all the time, just rubs the rotor...all...the...time. I have had this thing apart 3 times. The caliper is pulling back. I can't feel anything holding me back as I drive. Just like the pads aren't floating back right. Yet they are free on the little tracks. What am I missing. TIA.

new symptom
Ok. Today, I noticed a metallic scrub just on the passenger side front today. I took it apart and had my wife push the brake pedal and the 2 pistons didn't come out at the same rate nd when she let off, didn't retract much at all. Everytime she mashed the pedal, the rotor got harder and harder to turn. I am thinking I am in need of new calipers. Plus the ring at the front of the caliper that presses to the back of the pad (ceramic, maybe) has chips all over it where they have been taken off before and weren't properly compressed. Guess a trip to my local pick and pull is in order. Thoughts?
