It all started when I decide to replace my brakes and rotors. I was getting a shake when I braked. However, when I took the wheels off, I was missing a caliper bolt on the driver side. So everytime I braked, the caliper had play in it. I last had this truck in the garage in November to replace a ball joint. I only drove it a short time after that.
Anyway:
I replaced the front brake pads and rotors on my truck. Not my first time but now I'm having more issues than I can take. First thing that happened was the abs light and traction light came on. I tried to accelerate and the traction grinding noise is happening, then when I brake the anti lock grinding is happening. I pulled the wheels again and checked and cleaned the sensors. I check the rotors and everything looks normal. Put it all back together and try again, much of the same symptons. I take the wheels and check the sliders. The pins with the rubber pieces on them seem locked into the holes. I eventually get them out and pick up to pin kits and replace the pins and bolts. Put everything back together, same issues. Take the wheels off again, driver side brakes are hot and I can't turn them by hand. Calipers??. I put a clamp on and the cups slide back very easily.
I don't know where to go next. Could it possibly be calipers? they slide back into place so easily.
