so i was driving down the road the other day and my car started pulling really hard to the right. i thought it might be air pressure in tire and its pulling because of my welded diff. so i did some snooping around and my brand new pads were completly worn down but just on one side. the rotor was ruined with hot spots. i got new pads and clips, took the caliper apart and the pins were stuck. i got them out cleaned them really good and greased the hell out of them and the car still pulls. the piston has no play and seems to be good and there is no tension on the ebrake cable. now my new rotor is almost trashed.

i don't know what could be causing this. can someone give me some ideas



sorry such a long post

anyone possibly have any ideas why my caliper is staying compressed. by the way, its on an s13

the brake caliper is seized up, replace or rebuild it. Its very common and not too expensive.
