rear brake caliper sound..passenger side?

[chineseb0i]

hi,
about a few months ago, i installed some brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors onto my s13. Things have been going fine, brake system bled, etc. Recently, the past few days, under light braking going from about 10mph to a stop light, i noticed a weird rubbing/grinding sound from the rear..i believe it's the passenger side brake. Any clues to the cause of the sound? thanks

Take the wheel off and check the inside brake pad for excessive wear. The caliper may have gotten stuck and could be engaging the inside pad more than the outside (maybe to the point that the pad is down to the wear indicators)

The 2 14mm bolts that bolt on to the caliper are the slide bolts that keep your brake pads floating. remove the 2 bolts then make sure that the slide bolts move freely and they are lubed generously. You can use common lithium grease or what ever you have laying around the garage. If they are not lubed or if they look rusted, clean them up then install them. let me know if that works.
