sc400 brake caliper issue...
 

So I replaced my brake caliper today (driver side) because of the following issues. Insane heat, vibration and felt like a slight loss in power. So today I purchased a remanufactured brake caliper from a local AutoZone. Popped off the old caliper it appeared that the right piston was seized up as the pad was worn down on that side. Rotors and pads are 3 weeks old. Drilled and slotted rotors with posi quiet pads. Rotor does have heat spots on it. Ok so back to the story I replaced the caliper tonight, not touching the pads or rotor . Drive home and the vibration is gone, I feel like its not sticking anymore it feels a little more peppy but its still putting out excessive heat. I went to the other front wheel (passenger side) and could put my hand on it without a problem at all. But the Driver side from about 2feet away I could feel excessive heat being produced, I then proceeded like a dumb ass to touch the caliper and it did indeed burn my finger. So my question is, do you guys think I acquired another faulty caliper or could there be something else wrong? thanks

is the car pulling either way while braking?

honestly i'll have to update on that tomorrow. Didnt really pay attention to that. My alignement is pretty off anyways I recently picked up this car and it was sitting for a while it has bad control arm bushings.

anyone had any issues with wheel bearings? would that cause excessive heat?

Seriously no one?

Sounds like your problem is one the passenger side, driver side just doing all the work. I can't imagine being able to put my hand on any caliper right after driving. Just my 2 cents. I would bleed the passenger side checking for air in the lines, good luck

Once it's sorted you should probably change that bearing, sounds like that grease may be dun for

idk dude my passenger gets super hot. the driver not so much. I dont know what causes it. It does not pull either. good luck pm me if you figure it out
