Re: Brake problem 1983 300sd. need help

When installing did you clean of the rust and crud from the caliper where the edge metal part of the pads ride? I have seen where a pad will not ride free in the "guide" and bind against the rotor after the caliper piston relaxes.

Can anyone help. Do you think this is a vaccum problem?
Thanks for any help
