calipers sticking

anyone here with a 2005 and up tacoma ever had any problems with the calipers sticking...one side seems to be stopping sooner.....has anyone changed calipers on there truck due to a sticking caliper....

 

Yes, I had to have both my calipers rebuilt because of this. Most likely cause from mud.

 

did that fix the sticking?

 

of course

 

Im experiencing same prob. plan on removing and relubing this weekend. If there is a fix, hope to find it here.

 

What happened was. My caliper was sticking which warped my rotor. so, I had the calipers rebuilt and new rotors put on.

 

Yup, I'm after replacing both of mine over the past two years.

A rebuilt replacement from an autoparts store may be your cheapest route.

 

thats what i'm leaning towards but they are 117 dollars a piece and really don't have the extra money laying around.... guess i will soon have to bite the bullet....since its a daily driver

 

4wd and pre-runners have fixed calipers but 4 pistons...is that what are sticking? Are these more prone than floating calipers to this?

Do you think it's mudding that causes this? or getting wet a lot?

Do ya think it's something to keep an eye on... like maybe be careful to wash off the rotors if I do get into mud?

 

The rotors have nothing to do with it.

If you're anal enough, your could remove your calipers and clean your pistons annually. A little brake cleaner and relubing with brake fluid is the typical way.

 

If the glide pins are sticking, you can free them up yourself with penetrating oil. If its the piston that's sticking its best to replace the whole caliper.

Ya...i meant spraying off the calipers to get caked on mud out from between them and the rotor/pads.

Tacobox: There aren't guide pins on the 4-piston calipers.
