Hi,
This one is driving me crazy. My rear right disk gets way hotter than any other. But it's not dragging or sticking.
Under no/light braking, all brakes are about 40-50c.
Medium to heavy three are 70-80c, rear right is 220-230c.
Ultra heavy braking both fronts are 160c, both rears are 250c. (I think this can be excluded as all four will be massively saturated with heat).
I've take the rear right apart. The piston moves freely. The pads move freely*. The sliders are practically factory fresh. Lubed it back up and still the same issue. With the wheel off there is only slight contact with the disk but I've done 5-6 car brakes before and this felt no different from any other. I can easily rotate the disk by hand with the brakes off.
Should I be worried? Or just get new pads & disks? I figure it may have been sticking at some point and it's been so heat damaged that it's now inefficient, and new pads/disks will cure it.
*I didn't notice any difficulty pulling the pads out but the outside pad took some persuasion to go back in. I can still move it in/out by hand though.
Thanks
