Brake Problem - Help Needed
So i recently started experiencing some issues with the rear brakes.
I was on a hill and the car would barely roll back. I thought that was pretty strange.
So i stopped looked and everything seemed fine.
I drove the car back home which was about 25-30min of driving.
I came home. I looked at the brakes again and found out that the driver side rear caliper seemed to be locked up. Rotor was fried and cracked in just that 25-30min drive.
I didnt hear any sounds or anything it was strange. The heat coming out of the rotor was extremely extremely hot and i could not touch the wheel. Wheel was burning hot.
Its only the rear driver side rotor. I checked the rest of the brakes and they all seemed fine.
Do you guys think the caliper might of seized up on me?
Has anyone else experienced this before?
