Someone PLEASE tell me what's going on since I don't know cars very well. My MR2 is making funny noise at the driver side rear brake. So I took the wheel off and apparently the brake pad's firmly pressed against the brake disc eventhough I'm not braking at all! So it's making a lot of noise when I'm driving it and I don't know what to do. Someone please tell me what's going on???

sounds like your caliper is seized.....

So what can be done as of now? I'm about to go crazy here...

your caliper is stuck as if you were pressing your brake, like MRQ said.

you can rebuild it with a rebuild kit or buy a new caliper.

if you needed to be able to drive it (carefully) you could remove the rotor until your parts arrived... but braking will be uneven and weaker.

And you tried to sell this car on here and say it was in perfect condition.

First off, it didn't happen til two days ago so I did NOT know it was gonna happen.

Secondly, it's not like I wouldn't tell anyone interested in my car about the situation.

Thirdly, if you REALLY have nothing important to say, please keep your comments to yourself and stop posting useless stuff in my thread, thank you.

If I don't really give a rats ass about it I wouldn't be in the forum asking for help, GOD people these days...

I thought i gave you valid information...

At least it wasnt deserving of ridicule i think

Hi Drifting Dane, don't worry I wasn't talking about you. I was referring to CompanyFlow since he wasn't helping my situation at all by contributing nothing, he just felt that it was necessary to post something completely useless in my thread regarding my brake issue, hence I feel that it was my duty to let CompanyFlow know that if he has nothing helpful to say he should just keep them all to himself.

The only reason you're mad is because your car isnt in as great a condition as you claim it is in your for sale ad, and for the price its at. Brake jobs arent cheap. I forgot you owned TN, I'd better not interfere with any of YOUR threads anymore
