Brakes/Caliper sticking issue ?@#%^&
Hello all,
Been pulling my hair out with this one. Bought by 03 Enthusiast new and has been fairly reliable over the years. Recently, right front caliper was sticking/hanging up. Initially replaced the caliper with a rebuild(greased pins) turned rotors and replaced pads as well. Issue seemed to be rectified for several days. Thereafter, noticeable brake dust and increased rotor temeperatures with the wheel in question. Today, changed front brake lines to Stop tech braided, new stop tech slotted rotors, Hawk ceramic pads and flushed master cylinder and lines etc....
After seating the pads still noticable 10 degree temperature difference in front rotors and right side seems to be still having issues. My guess at this point is master cylinder but thought someone here may have some insight and may lend it. Maybe ABS module?
Thanks

I am having the same issue. I have a rear driver's side caliper seizing up and rubbing a little on my rotor. It's the second time I've been through this in a couple of months. Let me know if you make any progress.

Are you certain it is only a 10 degree F difference? That's not much and certainly would be within the acceptable range difference on a race car, depending on whether the circuit was clockwise or CC.
have you actually pulled and inspected the caliper itself? The dust seal may be misadjusted or hanging up, or the brake piston itself damaged.

I haven't had the time but I will be taking apart the calipers soon. It seems unlikely that both sides would fail a few thousand miles after replacing the rotors and pads.
