Need Help Bad !!! Brakes Draging Wheel Bearing or Caliper Problems????
Here is the background info. I have a 1996 Toyota Avalon with about 160,000 miles on it. The brakes were replaced about two years ago but car hasnt had more then 20,000 miles or so put on since they were replaced.
The car started making a noise while going around a corner a shop diagnosed it as a wheel bearing going bad. Havent had a chance to replace it but the noise is getting worse. Anyway I drove it today and heard a horrible grinding noise when brakes were applied and just normal driving have the brakes were applied.
Anyway looking through the wheel you can see the edge of the rotor is grooved. I took it apart the pads werent really worn at all. The pins looked fine but I re greased them then and put everything together. It is still grinding but not as bad. When I looked through the wheel it looks like the edge of caliper is what grinding it down. The pads are alligned fine. What would cause this? Is the caliper bad? If that is the case why isnt the pads wore down also? Is there anything else that keeps everything alligned/centered? With the wheel bearing bad/going bad could this cause this? Thanks CJ
