As per title. 39% imbalance.

Is the usual culprit a lazy calliper?

[tunnie]

Lazy or stuck. Got same on the 2.2, either side of both discs look rusty?

[JamesV6CDX]

Discs don't look great to me, but mot man said they're fine, oddly!

[tunnie]

Best take pads out, compress calipers and pump brake see what's what. In my case on the bad side I clamped the good caliper, then pump brake to force lazy one out. Push back and repeat

Its usualy the pads seized in the caliper due to lack of maintenance.

Easy to sort, pop the pads out, clean the caliper up, bit of copper slip and refit.

Just dont tell Mr Gixer

I like the way you say pop the pads out I had quite a job to even get mine moving ,when sorted breaking was much improved

[albitz]

He also says "pop the engine out,pop the heads off,pop the crankshaft out" etc.  ........easy enough when you've done it e few hundred times though.

Popped the offside rear wheel off, the inside pad had loads of meat, the outer one is worn to nearly nothing.

Still likely to be a stuck (inner) pad, or calliper trouble?

Will be doing new discs and pads all round soon

Thats because you can never hit your own car hard enough 

[robson]
