Maybe you gotta bleed your brakes.
Might have some air in the right side causing it to not brake as hard.... Just a thought
Did you install 100 series pads? They can sometimes fit too tightly and drag on the rotor overheating the brakes on one side.
Hi man not sure theres no rub noises comming from it wen i put the rotor on yesterday i did the spin check with the caliper on n its the origional caliper and the only thing that i did was the pads both sides and bleed the brake systemCaliper could be sticking. Are the calipers original/old?
The hub was hotter than usual no rubbing noises at all ill see in a few days what gives inHow are you measuring? Your hand? Brakes get hot.
Yeah i was thinking that might be the problem the other 1 is fine cause i end up going back over n loosening the inside nut that hold the bearing and that washer in place i might have over tightened it with my handsWheel bearings to tight? Go drive it 10 or 15 miles and make sure to do a few of the miles at highway speeds and avoid heavy braking. When you park get out and feel the hub. If the hub is too hot to touch for 30 seconds than something is wrong. If the wheel bearings are too tight it can definitely make the hub too hot to touch.
There is no way that you over torqued the wheel bearings with your hands alone. Simply torque the inner nut to 25ftlbs and lock it down with the second nut. Some of us with larger tires run 30ftlbs. This is a simple and proven method.Yeah i was thinking that might be the problem the other 1 is fine cause i end up going back over n loosening the inside nut that hold the bearing and that washer in place i might have over tightened it with my hands
Thanks m8 yeah i have 35sThere is no way that you over torqued the wheel bearings with your hands alone. Simply torque the inner nut to 25ftlbs and lock it down with the second nut. Some of us with larger tire run 30ftlbs. This is a simple and proven method.
Hi mate thanks for that i will be looking at it later today jus a double check on pads n there is no dragging on rotor but ill check that again today m8 better off getting it done before long tripsYeah agree with post above, if you hand tightened the inner bearing nut it is not over tight and probably cant be torqued to spec with just a hand. If it is overheating at all I would suspect the pad is dragging on the rotor.
