GM front brakes

Do the 97+ GP still have a problem with the front brake cailpers getting sticky. My old 95 did the same thing pisses me off. you come up to a stop and you ERRR ERRR ERRR. And no the brake pads are not worn out :grinno:

that sounds more like a warped rotor than a stuck caliper

Actually, it sounds like either cheap brake pads or improper rotor surface preparation. A sticky caliper would either make the car pull to one side, or it would screech when the brakes aren't applied.

I've never had sticky caliper problems Troy. I still have the originals. '97 GTP.

I'd suspect the quality of pads and rotors. But it doesn't hurt to remove the calipers and perform a closer inspection just in case.

95 would do the exact same thing on would pull to the right but this one both front calipers do it. The rotors are not warped no vibration when stopping I could see cheap A#$ pads doing it, but I don't know who did the previous brake work.

Yeah good point on the pads. A lot of the semi-metallics, especially cheapy, out there are terrible and will cause all sorts of noise. Autozone's Duralast brand come to mind. Probably a good idea to just tear it all apart and check it out. Good luck!

Not to change the subject Bob but, Went to Minneapolis (85% 75mph other 15% slower and intown) this weekend going up driving into 20-30mph winds averaged 25.7 MPG coming back 27.2 5-15mph wind off to the side. Average for the whole trip 26.2 I was impressed no more of that 22 crap!, so far.

Sounds like you put a lot of work into it Troy. That looks much better to me. :bigthumb:

The best I can say on the brakes is disassemble like Bob said and inspect the pads for big pieces of metal (cheap pads don't use an even sized metallic particle, I've seen chunks the size of a peanut) that will cause a horrible noise.
