Hey,
I think I may have a brake calliper that is sticking a little bit…
I get quite a bit more brake dust on the front right wheel than I do on the left side. That makes me think I may have a calliper that’s sticking, right? Is there anyway to really tell if that’s the problem? And if that is the problem, how do I fix it (without just replacing the calliper)?
I also think that I may have a warped rotor or cupped tires on the front too… There is definitely a pulsing feeling noticed mainly when braking – although I think I can hear an oscillation noise at speed as well, so I’m not sure what the source of that is. I just changed out the OEM shocks (to Monroe Reflex) and rotated the tires last night, so we’ll see if that helps with the pulsing/oscillation.
By the way, it’s a 2004 4x4 XLT with about 60,000 kms on it. I feel fairly confident doing work on the truck myself as long as I have some decent instructions! I have a Haynes manual, and this website as my resources…
Thanks for the help.
