binding front brake
#4
I've come to the conclusion that warped discs are a myth unless you're a hard braking racer!!

My view, seized pistons.....not externally, but internally, perhaps!

From experience, seized pistons aren't blatantly obvious, but are normally the problem!

Clean up the pad pins for starters, and get rid of any crap, and lightly copper grease them, they can build up dirt and the pads won't move freely sideways!

If that doesn't work, overhaul needed!

Don't forget, the pads are separated by movement of the disc, so when you brake and come to a stop, as in parking, they will bind a little bit anyway, but when they're all 'nice and shiny' they release and work lovely, and the wheel will spin freely regardless!
The thing about caliper problems is that they tend to creep up on you gradually over a period of time so you don't really notice it happening straight away.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
