Front Brake Bad Friction

[CMF_tiSh]

Just replaced some bendix disc pads on the front.

lately i feel the car is a little bit heavy or dragging to accelerate...

and found out that the left side has more friction contact than the right side...

is there some kind of adjustment to loosen up the disc & pad contact? tnx...

did u clean and check the slide pins, making sure the caliper body slides smoothly

yap just cleaned them with WD40.. and its slides smoothly....

does the (slide pin) rubber boots effect the sliding?

I hope you didnt get WD40 on the brake pads or rotors??
:-/

had the same prob a while back , one brake was binding , ended up pushing the brake piston in ( using force ) and out ( using the peddle) , also lifted the dust rubber to lubricate the piston with brake fluid , prefer to use brake fluid as it is designed to take higher temps than oils like WD40 .
Been ok since ....
