    Unhappy WTF is wrong with my Car??

    Ok, My Front Right Brake is Jammed or something, it was smoking like a mother fucker earlier tonight, and the Car is pulling to the Right, Both Front Tires are off right now in my Garage, and the Right Rotor wont budge at all, but the Left will, ....Its harder to Turn Left then Right, And it smells horrible, almost like Burnt Clutch or something..But its making No Wierd Noises at all, which i would maybe expect if the Brake was jammed ..anyone have any idea what i Can Do?

    Your going to need a new caliper cause the piston is probably seized inside the caliper now. It has happened to me before. You should get new pads and get those rotors machined cause that one side might have gotten warped.

    Also check the brake lines and make sure they haven't cracked, leaked fluid, etc. But it's more likely what he said --^^^

    Look into upgrading your brakes. If you are going to spend the money anyways might as well look for an upgrade. A friend of mine was able to upgrade the brakes on his truck for cheaper than it would have been to have oem parts put back on.

    Certain things like brakes are not too good from scrapyards. Calpiers almost always need to be rebuilt and rotors resurfaced. If you are going to fix it do it right. Imagine how much it would cost if you take the cheaper way out and hit someone/thing. way worse and more expensive.

    Everything is getting replaced with Brand New parts, gonna cost a bit more, but if i decide to keep my car for a long time like i want too, then it will be worth it ..some of the PArts had to be ordered from Ontario, so i hopefully get my car back tomorrow(fingers crossed)...i havnt had it all week
