I recently replaced my front brake, because they were making a HORRIBLE grinding sound. I replaced the pads and rotors. They started squealing right away, but I figured, maybe it's just because they are brand new. But no, they have only gotten worse. I'm not sure why! It's getting back to the point they were before I did them. Could it be bad calipers? Or hoses? And how would I narrow it down? I'm usually pretty good figuring out stuff on my own, but I'm stumped.
By the way, the pads I removed looked like they had a lot of meat left, but I'm not sure how much they are SUPPOSED to have left when they are gone. They had about a 1/4" of pad left on them. New pads were twice that.
I have a feeling one half of one of my calipers is sticking. How could I figure that out?
Thanks!
