Hi guys, I have to "renew" this thread.
I am currently runing 07' Bravo (66 kW) and having nearly similar issue with rear brakes as has been discussed above (and Stilo and Multipla has same rear brake calipers, if I am not wrong).
Shortly: Official service changed rear brake rotors and pads (but they missed to tight the bolts on left caliper
). Everything was ok, but after four month it started to get sticky - left side. I figgured out that dust covers on handbrake lines were broken, so I used a little bit of oil to get it lubed and fixed it with electrical type - so far, so good. During the march, the exhaust was changed together with handbrake cables for right and left side (ATE). It moves freely now.
Well the sticking got back and I figgured that it was caused by the handbrake "shaft" in caliper. I lubed it, it was fixed for 14 days and got sticky again. So, I have changed left rear caliper BUT there is still an issue
The left rear wheel is getting little bit hotter (+20-30 °C) after normal town cruising for approx. 10 km. I have dissambled left rear caliper carrier, the guide pins were moving freely except the one with rubber sleeve on in, so I did a quick cleaning with new grease application (ATE Plastilube) and it was pretty smooth. I have also cleaned the pads brackets which are on the caliper carrier.
All in all, no big improve - when you lift the car you can still hear that the pads are touching the rotor completely, there is no place, if you rotate the wheel, when it just "hits it". If I do the same on the right side I can hear just two point when the pads hits the rotor and wheel moves "more" freely than on the left side.
Do you have any idea what to focus on? Did I missed something?
Thanks a lot. :worship:
