After i could not locate any calipers,or rotors for my 86 gxl,i took the car to midas-ya --screwed up ,but anyway.the front brakes where making a hell of a noise and when i inspected the pads they were fine but the pistons on the calipers were actually getting so hot they were starting to melt the shim on the back of the pad.Well anyway----midas said one of my calipers was bad and i replaced that and both rotors--i supplied my own pads---when i picked the car up it was making the same noise real high pitch sound,they said the pads were cheap buy new ones,i did that,they were quit untill they got hot and the same thing--when hot real bad noise.the calipers do release when your off the brake--i thought it was the proportioning valve but the back brakes do come on.---help guys--what can it be this is 3 sets of pads--it can not be that.i have spent over 600.00 and all i have is shreeeeeeeekkkk

 

?

 

check ur barrings when u changed ur pads did u machine the rotars? if not that is a good chance t5hat that is what is making then over heat.other than that there's nuthing else i can think of change everything thats will get rid of it....lol

 

?????? the rotors are brand new

 

no one has a clue here?????

 

Is the shield coming in contact with the rotor itself?

 

was brake anti-squeek used?

 

From where did you get them?

Sounds like at least one piston is sticking, that's my guess. Brakes don't get red hot unless they're in contact with the rotor.

i think mazdatrix.com has those calipers, but im not sure

 

Midas!!!!........Bastards!!!

My girl went there to get her brakes done(didn't have the time to do them myself)
1. over priced
2. life time warranty
3. warped rotars in 2 months
4. THEY WILL BE REPAIRING THEM FOR A LIFETIME EVERY THREE MONTHS

I hate her "sports car" 97 grand am gt
