2 weeks ago, i finally got around to replacing my front pads and rotors due to a heavy vibration felt throughout the car and the steering wheel while braking. It initially solved the vibrations, but now they are back.
Now, about once a day while driving I will suddenly smell something burning. Sometimes, while decelerating, the car will want to pull to the right. One would think both of these point to a sticking passenger side caliper.
However, whenever I check temperatures of my front wheels after a drive, my driver side wheel is ALWAYS warmer than the passenger side (checked with my hand).
I also jacked the front of the car up and spun the passenger side wheel - you can hear two distinct sounds during its rotation: contacting only one pad and contacting both pads.
Is it possible that my right-front caliper is sticking closed sometimes and sticking open other times? I'm open to any and all ideas....
