1991 4x4 hardbody. Replaced rotors pads calipers and lines and still dragging on the front driver’s side. What have I missed?

What’s the condition of the slide pins? Are the clean, greased, and moving freely?

Absolutely, just thinking I may have missed something but not sure what else to replace lol.

Might wanna check the wheel bearings.

When I take the pressure off from the caliber it turns free.

Piston not releasing. How old is the caliper?

The caliper could be out of spec.....like warped.

I’m thinking you’re right but I’ve just got around 5000 miles on it.

cadillacdude1975 · 11-15-2020, 11:41 PM

Is the caliper new or a rebuilt one? Id bet it is fubar somewhere if it is a rebuilt one.
