I just rebuilt my front calipers, including new pads. Have yet to re-fill/bleed.
On one side, the hub/rotor spins freely with only slight rubbing of the pads. Feels "normal" as compared to other cars I've worked on. On the opposite side, the hub/rotor does not spin freely. It spins only with some effort. Both rotors measure the same thickness (a little under 10mm). Will this issue fix itself once I re-fill & bleed or is something wrong? |

QUOTE they slowly expand to their current position Sounds like your knock-back mechanism is hanging on that piston. It may free up when lubricated with the fluid. |
