To do list
#1
- new spark plugs
- spark plug wires
- rotor
- cap
- radiator
- brake rotors
- ceramic brake pads
annnndd I now confirm after driving a bit, by passenger side front brake, SMOKES like a mad man. Think because when i was wheeling i bent it? so now its rubbing constantly? my car also pulls to the right really hard, so that might be the reason its pulling so hard.
also, REAR DRILLED & SLOTTED BRAKE ROTORS W/ CERAMIC PADS - eBay (item 270729128411 end time May-01-11 11:21:57 PDT)
Worth it? or cheap garbage?

If it's smoking that bad and pulling...you may have a seized caliper and or blown seal that is allowing either rubber or fluid to contact the brakes. I'd count on more than just pads and rotors at this point.
#3
how much is that fix?
#4
better yet, any way i can just fix the caliper itself?
Im gonna take the wheel off tomorrow and see whats going on.

you can get a new caliper from advance not sure how much they are, you will have to bleed your brakes once you replace it, those rotors look ricey. and for that price I bet they are cheap. Nice slotted rotors are usually $60+ a rotor and ceramic brake pads are usually like $50 for 4, I wouldn't trust those
#6
Just took off my caliper.... Was able to push one piston in, and im waiting on a friend with a c clamp to try to push in the other. Hopefully that will do it.
#7
now im habing a problem with the truck like "sputtering" or hesitating while accelerating in first gear now would that be the spark plugs?
#8
get up off my caliber thread bro. lolz.... but I just took the caliper and pushed the pistons back in. No more hardcore rubbing for the time being. Im driving to palm coast today so we'll see how it goes.
