97 Camry, bad caliper?

[ecklund11]

The other day I was driving on the highway and I noticed that the front end started shaking a bit. When I applied pressure on the brake, it started shaking violently. If I accelerate, it all but went away. If I remove my foot from the gas, the shaking came back (but not as bad as when I am braking). I could definetly tell the shaking was coming from the front passenger side wheel.

I got off the highway right then and drove home with no problems. That night I wanted to take the car out again on the highway... and it was fine. No vibrations at all. Wierd. So, now I am thinking my caliper may have gotten stuck. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me, is that if it was a stuck caliper, why would it stop shaking when I accerated?

Yep it sounds like you have a bad caliper. Just head down to autozone and get another one, the core on those things are only like $30 and the caliper itself shouldnt be more then $45
