Hot front passenger brake

[Cosmic_Chi]

Hi guy's my brakes are squeaking when driven but stops when i tap the break pedal. When i stopped after a few miles of driving, the passenger side front brake is giving off a lot of heat compared to the other and there seems to be some scoring on the brake disc as well.

Is it a sticking brake calliper? as the car doesn't roll freely now either

Sounds like a sticky slider to me.

Something is sticking on the caliper. could be just the pin boots.

I have the same problem mine squeak when driving but stop when i touch the brakes

check my thread to see if yours is like mine http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?81326-My-annoying-squeak-chirp-VIDEO

I checked the heat of the discs after a drive and both were about even so i think mine could be something else

Have you got plenty of meat left on the pads. could be the brake wear indicators?

Sticky piston in the caliper or pins seized?

I'm just after replacing 2 front calipers, freeing up rear calipers (one rear caliper replaced last year), shot basted the carriers and pins (seized on all 4 corners before), braided hoses, brake fluid, discs and pads. It was a nice bill!

yeh both pads have good meat on them (equal), i think I've caught the problem early.

My rears are fine
