OK so about 6 months ago my drived side front brake was making a horrible noise like metal digging into metal so i bought new disks and brake pads and changed them myself. I have changed my brakes many times im no pro mechanic put work at a car dealer and can do things like oil change brakes.
I notieced 3 of the 4 pads were ok and passenger pads were like 50% life left so i lubed my calipers and purged refilled my brake fluid. So now about 6 months later same horrible noise started happing same metal on metal grinding. what do u guys think the problem is , can it be fixed or will the calipers prolly have to be replaced?

Thanks for the info!

 

Well, if it ends up being that you need a new caliper, I have one to sell you.

Is there anyway I can tell if its a calliper just by looking at it?
Or do i have to take it to a certified Acura mechanic?

 

if you take off the caliper and one of the pistons is stuck/jammed/doesn't move, then it's seized

 

So that means i need a new one or can somehow fix it?
How much they cost?

 

Could the problem be just my brake line not taking the fliuid back to the reserve and not the caliper?

 

i seem to have the same problem a few moths ago, its an reoccuring one.
What i did was tool them out released them and put it back on.
it was Ok for three moths but its back again.
It also feels like the car is slowing down or ur brakes/ABS is coming on sometimes , like ur break has a mind of its own.
the pads i believe are making contact with the rotors when they shud NOT(calipers stuck in position)

 

So how did u fix the problem?

I just ordered a brake hose , I'm gonna try that first thinking the hose might be corroded and the fluid is getting to the calipers but is not getting sucked back resulting the brackes to stay locked and not release. I'm gonna try that first b4 i buy a new caliper!

 

You could lift the car and take your wheel off. Have friend sit in the driver seat and put the vehicle in drive. Brake, give it gas accordingly to see if you can duplicate the noise
