Possible sticking caliper

[Jaythor74]

Anyone have brake issues yet? My mpg has dropped about 2 mpg and I believe it’s a dragging brake/caliper. I went to wash the car after I got home from work, the water hit the driver front rotor and it was super hot. The other 3 were relatively cool. Dropping off Monday night and will see what they say.

Thats not safe on high speeds, the abs might be compensating the other wheels due to that single brake thats dragging.

An infrared thermometer is good tool for determining difference in brake rotor heat temps.

I agree with 69cuda , simple way to see if one is way hotter than the other due to excessive contact.

I just took a short drive and mine are ~120°F. Mine squills once in a while...I think they are just cheap wear parts that will not pass inspection next year.
