have you replaced the hoses recently? Mine had collapsed inside making a one way valve that caused the stuck caliper. They looked fine from the outside.

They are but plastic is plastic, I'll just texture and match them to my door panels when they come in.

Those look like a really creative idea, but I kinda see a potential problem with a cup of liquid and a slamming door.

Thinking about what you said. When slowing down quickly I have noticed a wah wah wah sound. Wonder if that's the rotor?

Calipers stick because the piston wears and it gets cocked to one side. Freeing it up won't stop it from happening again. Phenolic pistons are especially prone to wear like this. Buy a replacement with a steel piston.

I would say that's very possible. Crazy that doesn't shake. That type of sound can also be wheel or center section bearings. Tires too.

@Ajax19 what do you smoke? I just see your ash tray with butts. It's been years since I smoked but I still have vivid dreams where I am smoking and wake up wanting one. Also enjoy the smell of a lit cig from time to time. Me: Camel lights then eventually Winston lights...because I wanted to get the beer and the cigs every day after work lol .
