brakes draging on front. replaced pads ,bearings,calipers,hoses,master cylinder.started after pads replaced.abs system.

 

You should have the rotors machined when you replace the pads, don't just R&R the pads.
Also bleed the brakes after all the mechanical work is complete.
Use the proper high temp brake lube on the sliding parts on the caliper.

 

since when? when i worked at the shop, all we did was take the old ones out, and pop new ones in. if the rotors were messed up, we'd replace them. dont fix it if it aint broke.

as for the OPs problem, you need to be more specific. how are they dragging? they will always touch the caliper some. why did you replace all of those parts?

 

That is why I do my own brakes, YOU GUYS only do half the job.
That's why he is having problems, IMHO.

 

Agreed, doesn't the correct way of doing a disc brake job include either machining/turning the old rotors or replacing the rotors if they're out of spec? Just doing the pads without the rotors is the best way to have pulsing brakes soon after. Yeah it might save money, but I learned quick after the first brake job I did some 40 jobs ago that it's better to spend the extra on turning the rotors/buying new ones up front.

 

theres no reason to do anything with the rotors unless there thin, warped, or have giant gouges in them. ive done my brakes twice on my truck. there warped now, but only because they dont like stopping heavy trailers fast. as long as there still in spec, there fine.

 

My experience, and that of my friends, is the same as yours. We usually install new pads and that's it, unless there is some damage or wear evident, of course.

 

thank you. the only reason shops turn/machine rotors is so they can charge you more money for ***** you dont need. ive replaced the brakes 2 times on our dodge van in my driveway. still the same rotors.
