Last night I changed the rotors and pads on the Jeep. They were working fine, but were grinding and near the end of their life. Upon inspection, the pad wear was even on both sides. 2 years ago, I had a pull to the driver side when heavy braking (down hill at higher speeds). I replaced the calipers (Black magic) and the front brake hoses. The brake fluid is fairly clean.
While replacing the rotors and pads last night, I noticed that the caliper pistons seemed tougher than normal to compress with the C-clamp, mainly the passenger side. I put everything back together, and now have a pretty severe driver side pull under ALL braking. Could the caliper on the passenger side be shot already? I used silicone grease on the slide pins and they seemed fine. I also bled the brakes to be sure.
