Nil Skrzypczak Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 2009 Journey, front driver side brake sticks sometimes, causing burnt smell and overheating. As far as I can tell it happens randomly, one day its stuck and the next its perfectly fine. Caliper was replaced about a month ago and it's still happening. Any solutions?

Any solutions? have read where rust will build up under the bracket that holds the rubber brake line going to the caliper and can put enough pressure to reduce the brake fluid,,,also has the caliper slide pins been cleaned greased ,as well as the brackets that hold the brake pads in the caliper been cleaned and greased as well 5rebel9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 That's happened to me once on another vehicle. The hose collapses inside and acts like a check valve, letting pressure in but not out. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 When swapping caliper, mechanics often squeeze hose with clamp to stop air getting in. Could cause this issue. Years ago the rubber was much more brittle, flex hose was a common failure. But intermittent sticking of piston when heated up can happen with cheaper remanufactured parts sometimes. Happened with my F150 on Cardone reman part. New …more expensive caliper fixed it. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
