2007 acura mdx. Brake caliper was not releasing so I replaced both front calipers rotors and pads. Bleed system and working fine today the drivers side locked up and will not release again I have to wait for about 30 secounds to drive and brake still dragging on drivers side. So it can't be the caliper any suggestions of where to look. Is it worth opening vsa module and visually look at seals?
No dtc's just brake dragging on old and now on new. Thanks
you may have a collapsed rubber brake line
- How would I go to check that?
not sure, but I don't think they're too expensive.
You have a 15yo car so it's not a terrible idea to do anyway
Thank you, I'm just going to replace rubber hose and see if that takes care of the problem.
I believe your 2007 Acura has an ABS brake system. If you bled the brakes without a bi-directional scan tool to set the solenoids properly, it may have set that one side on.
The reason I changed the brake calipers to begin with was them seized up and when I pulled them out the sliders were frozen so I just replaced the calipers and still came up with the same issues after replacement needed new ones anyway, so I believe mountainManJoe has more of a logic response about hoses being bad going to replace hoses tomorrow, if it does take care if the problem then I'll hit the abs module. Thank you for all the responses.
the sliders were frozen
did you replace the slide pins?
Thanks for the replies. I changed both front calipers complete ( new ). But today I changed the rubber hose and that hose was clogged I could not even blow air through it, so replacing hose seems to have taken care of the problem, going for a test drive in about an hour. Hopefully that was the problem.
nice!
Update. After driving car for about 45 minutes all seems good no more break dragging, so replacing both rubber hoses that go from caliper to steel hose took care of the problem. Thank you for the information. ( and I did need to replace the rotors and pads, and the calipers where still the oem and in bad shape maybe because it was dragging and overheating for a while). 👍👍👍👍
out of curiosity, how much did those cost?
