Brake caliper sticking
Howdy, I have a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado and I think the caliper is sticking on the front driver side. The reason I think it is that is because I changed the pads and only one pad was worn down, the other three had at least 75% on them. any suggestions? (If it helps any my truck has drums in the rear and disk in the front and they are not heavy duty)

i had a similar problem w/ a jeep i used to have, the driver front would stick and heat up and i would have to kinda steer to the right to keep it going straight, but as soon as i needed to brake, it would jump to the right. it ended up being a faulty caliper. i replaced it and never had a problem w/ it again.

Yeah sounds like the piston is bad on that caliper.

Also check the sliders on the pad bracket. The new pads should have come with a set. I also lube mine so the pads slide back and forth easily.
