And yes last week I changed the brake hose and I told the mechanic who did it to lubricate them again | |

| Jul 24, 2016 at 20:07 | comment | added | OB1gamerxD | @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 my mechanic and I worked on the car several time , yes he put everything back the way it's supposed to. I'm curious too in what's the problem because I've changed almost everything. Brake pads, caliper and also rotor I've changed several times. The master cylinder and booster I changed a month ago. I'll go to a different mechanic and check if my mechanic put everything back in place like it's supposed too. Also I have a bad lower control arm but I doubt this could be the problem. | |

It seems to me you have a caliper which is sticking (not retracting the piston) which is causing the brake pads to drag on the rotor. If you have a new caliper on there and it's still dragging, this is the only thing I can think of which may be causing it. It could be a defective caliper as well, though. | |
