Just did new front pads yesterday on my truck, the front pass side were worn down to nothing, the driver side still had 1/4-3/8" of pad left. Now driving with the new pads I am sure the pass side caliper is sticking. Truck stops pretty poorly, granted it has 36" tires but if I mash the brake pedal the back tires lock up, never the front.
Could the sticky caliper be why my pass side tire is almost bald while my driver side looks almost new?
Also, if I sit and hold the brakes they will fairly quickly sink all the way to the floor though no fluid is leaking, bad master cylinder?
My plan later today after helping the sis move to a new apt is to buy two new calipers ($42 each at discount) and one new master cylinder (also $42 at advance) and hope that fixes all my problems.
Does that sound like the right course of action? Or are these symptoms posibly another problem?
Thanks,
