So, I'm hearing a whining sound from the passenger front wheel. When I tap the breaks, the sound goes away (for a little while). A month ago, I had it on the lift and noticed the wheel was wobbly. so I tightened the bearing. all was well for a while, then, I was driving to the shop to put on some new tires the other day, and she is pulling to right. I try to take the wheel off, and the lug nuts are too hot to touch. It seems as though the caliper is sticking. The hub turns, but not as freely as the other side. And the rotor is a little warped. on the way home (on my awesome new tires), it is really whining bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
BTW. its a 911 break and suspension setup in the front. My questions are: is it a caliper for sure? I'm thinking caliper rebuild kit from Pelican. Can I have the rotor turned? Any guidance would be great. Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |
