subieluvr Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Okay lets see if I can make this simple for everyone to follow. The last week of April I changed my front pads and rotors(simple enough right?). The front left caliper boots were rotten so I put a new caliper on and bled it. Jump forward 2 weeks and I was pulling up to league night and I could smell burning brake pad. I kinda passed it off being I had just changed mine. That was a Tuesday, jump to Friday I was on my way to the store and going down a hill with the cruise on there was a thunk and the cruise and speedo quit working. I stopped bout 4 miles down the road and checked the front wheels and opened the hood. The right side wheel and brake rotor were extremely hot to the touch. Another 4 miles down the check engine light came on. Pulling into town the car died, but started right back up. I decided to go to Big O tire and have them check it out. A day later they tell me the calipers and brake lines needed changed. I took the car home and changed out the bearing, brake caliper, brake line and ball joint all on the right side, but for some reason it is still getting pretty warm on that side. I know from what I have read that the speedo gears have probably melted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I'm not familiar enough with Subaru brakes yet. Did The new caliper came with new slide bolts? If it didn't did you make sure the ones you have are clean and well lubricated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieluvr Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Yup cleaned and lubed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Sounds good. Do you have a temp gun to see just how warm it's getting compared to the other side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
