So a while back my 240 was curbed (not by me) and since then every now n then there has been some squeaking while braking in the rear and its gotten to a constant squeal. I popped the rear calipers off today n the rear passenger pads were worn down to about 1/8 inch and the inside pad was starting to scrape, while the other sides pads were fine. When i put the calipers back with the new pads it seemed the the ebrake was locked so i unhooked it from both calipers n still same thing calipers were locked. I took it for a little drive to see how noticable it was n the car slightly pulls left and after about 2 minutes i could feel heat by hand n slightly smoking so i turned around. I wasnt driving the 240 when it got curbed and have been piecing together the damage. To me it seems like the calipers locked up slightly, i notice when i have the clutch in i dont roll around on slight hills at all and will slow down slightly sometimes when in nuetral. So i was thinking about cleaning them w/ brake parts cleaner n re lubing them up n then draining and bleeding the whole system. Idk if itll free them up but it might be worth a shot. Just fyi i believe i have 5lug swap w/ s14 rotors and s13 calipers, also never had a problem w/ rear brakes or e brake before it was curbed, curbed in front end and only broke steering rack bolts.
Sorry so long just wanted all the details!
