So I realized one of my rear calipers is locked up. So I go down to a local Autozone (because I was in a rush) and get new pads, rotor and caliper. I should also mention, rotor got trashed due to the locked up caliper.
Slap everything together and noticed that my parking brake no long works on the caliper I just replaced. I re-adjusted the parking brake and still has the same problem. Also the parking brake cables are only a year or 2 old.
Here are some pictures to help show the problem.
This is the side with the caliper that I replaced. This is a picture of the parking brake off.
This is a picture of the other side with the parking brake off to compare.
This a picture of the replaced caliper side with the parking brake on. Even like this I can freely turn the wheel hub.
This is the other side that did not have the caliper replaced, with the parking brake on.
Is this a caliper problem.? I did re bleed the whole brake system after this because the brake pedal didn't feel right. But it feels better after I bleed the system. Also the replaced caliper seem to work fine when I push on the brakes.
