So I noticed a couple of weeks ago that my rotors were still rusted after driving it
So now i decided to check the calipers and this doesnt look normal at all
see the pin holder is suppose to be inserted to the top but its not so it broke and apparently its been like that for a while...
some uneven wear on the pads...
replaced the pins and pin holders bought a set of 2 for around $20 on rock auto... I feel like we should have another brake pin holder bracket one on top!
after driving for a while seems like it works! but this pattern looks awfully weird...
Since we're on the topic of brakes... shouldn't this bleeder have a cover...?
SO i've changed all that but my brake pedal is squishy as hell... I guess i actually need to buy new calipers for the rear since they're seized... here's another problem, my front brakes are creaking I have a video and at 0:30 u can hear it as i press on it....
Yes it should...man!!! I'm glad I don't live up north...that's straight hell on cars...
It should have a rubber cap? and yea living up in NY gives a lot of rust on the cars as you can see on the caliper... and i actually hammer on the caliper... dont ask why im retarded :hammer:
left rear calipers are problematic.
Mine had seized up had to replace it when i put new rotors and pads.
all wreckers were sold out of left rear calipers except 1, i got that
Where did you get your car from a junk yard. Never seen so much oxidation. I'm glad I live in the southwest. Unpainted cars don't even rust over here
I live in NY so it snows and then the salt trucks come and shoot out salt everywhere, so the snow dont ice.... I think this is typically normal but nothings really rusted except the rotors, the side swipe ... I think we've had the rotors ever since we had the car

yea well i think both of my calipers are seized... I dont know if theyre even working but when i put in neutral it moves but if use the ebrake it works and the car doesnt move... i need an expert.... and we recently changed the brake fluids a couple of months ago
Yup you got to grease all the moving parts every so often but all that rust I can see how they are seized. I would replace them but you can possibly clean, replace puns and pin seals and grease but may not be worth the trouble
Hand brake is connected to a drum brake inside rear rotor, your rear caliper is seized, I highly suggest replacing it and you will right away notice a lot better brake feel. I have wen't through 2 rear calipers.
wow that's some bad rust going on, how many times do you wash your car, you should wash it at least every week in winter to get the salt off. I'm surprised your rear caliper hasn't seized up yet, if your taking it off try to clean it up to prevent it from seizing up later on in your cars life.
amazing how much damage the snow/salt do to you guys up north. A TON of truck sales are made by Northerners down here in Oklahoma because they are "rust free". After seeing those pics...now I understand why.

I honestly thought it was the pads that were activated! boy am i wrong now.... thanks for the education! i still got lots to learn tho!
Seriously?!? 2 calipers? i was only expecting to replace both of the rears, unless u meant by both rear.

It's been with the family for 7 years... This is my dads Gs 350 so i try to take care of it ever since around 3 years ago which i started driving... I'm not sure how often he brought it to the wash but i've been washing it since then... there's a lot of rust and the calipers are seized. I'm planning on buying new calipers and rotors.
GS 350 07 rear brake rotor rust...
:hammer:
