SO i jacked up the front of the car.
The driver front spins but drags a slight bit.
The passenger front is oviously draggin and is the problem.
NOW. What should be the first steps to solving this prob.?
Bleed my brakes again? I doubt there is air in there. Sicne we bled them twice and used a clear hose to make sure there werent any bubbles.
My ABS delete: I used everything out of the doner car since it was a 4 piston caliper GXL.
I used the master/proportioning valve. And 2 or 3 brake lines. ( front ones/ and a short one front master to proportioning vlave?)

It'll drag if the caliper piston's not retracting properly. Maybe the old calipers weren't in good enough shape to rebuild. My suggestion is to get some rebuilt ones from a parts store.

MY calipers only had 75,000 miles before rebuild. It ws my doner GXL.
IM thinking. I did not clean the rods that hold the pads enough. I should go wire brush those. I will be doing that today. Ill let you know if it was a waste of time cleaning the pins/rods..

SO i cleaned some of the hardware and wire brushed those pins/rods.
I also put some brake caliper lube where the harware slides on the pin/rod and put plenty on the rod itself.
I went for a drive came home and checked ont he wheel, it spun way better than before.
Its not dragging as bad or at all?
But it doesnt roll like it should. My driveway has a very slight slope. My maxima rolls better.
Could my drivetrain be so shitty to cause this much resistence?
