I think I have a stuck/sticky caliper.

I am getting some squealing while under way after braking. It will fade away after a little while, but it it's bad enough where a friend left a message saying he could hear me coming...

I am also getting a shudder when braking at certain speeds (from @ 20-30 mph).

I replaced my front rotors @ 40k miles/4 yrs ago w/ PowerSlot Cryo's & Hawks LTS pads on all 4 wheels. I greased the pins at the time on the original calipers ('04 4wd 6.0 X w/ 105k miles now). The brakes have been great since, but the squealing/shudder started this spring.

Is it likely I need to replace the whole caliper, or can I get away with a pin kit? I want to order all the parts and be ready to do a weekend job.

Could the shudder be from the caliper, or is it likely i need to turn the front rotors?

I'm planning to put new rear rotors on & new Hawk LTS pads all around again at the same time as dealing with the caliper.

Any suggestions for what rear rotors &/or calipers to get? I'd like to spend a bit less on the rear rotors vs the Powerslots.

Thanks.

 

If the caliper is sticking it probably got hot enough to warp the rotor. They can check the run out on it when they put it on the brake lathe. As cheap as reman calipers are these days I would just by one, prolly replace both brake hoses too...good insurance! Oriellys house brand rotors are decent as are their brake pads.

 

Tire Rack carries the Centric brand loaded calipers.. $91.00 each last I checked.
