Took the car out, while jumping on the highway I heard a pop
— got off the highway. Leaving off the gas, I noticed
that there was a dragging sound, like a sticking caliper.
Give it gas and no dragging sound, leave off gas, a dragging
sound.
Turned around and went home.
Pulled the right rear wheel, moved disk a bit, checked
things out, saw nothing wrong, pushed and pulled a bit on
the disk/caliper. Installed wheel and torqued.
Took car on driveway (90 feet long) jammed on brakes, put in
reverse and gave it some good gas pedal, hit brakes, gave
gas forward, hit brakes, did this over several times.
Went out on the road and things seem cured.
Could I have had a sticking caliper for a while?
I don’t think the noise would be gone if it were the Dif. or
trans.
Drove around for a while and it seems ok.
Any ideas.–
