I was having some brake issue the last month where the brakes would lock up for no reason. I use them & they wouldn't release & had some noise issues with what sound like them dragging. I took the wheels off several times to inspect & they seemed to be fine. Pads looked ok, the rotors had no unusual wear.
I thought maybe it was ABS related & decided to buy new rotors with newer abs rings & bearings. I went to replace things this weekend, & upon trying to remove the caliper slide pins on the passenger side they both were cracked right down the middle hidden from view unless I tried to remove them. Same on the drivers side. All 4 pins were toast.
$15 for new pins & my brake issues are gone.
I never had a set break before on 3 X's.
