Let me say before I begin my quest for help that I, indeed did search through the forums for my problems. I encountered a lot of possible solutions. This post is here in the hopes that my circumstances might change/narrow down the problem.
Starting out I have replaced all 4 rotors with new including new pads. And replaced lower ball joints. I greased all 7 slide pins. Yes you read seven not 8. The one pin I did not grease (front drivers side) caused the brakes to drag turning in any direction. If I drove straight no problems whatsoever. Only when turning... So today I got my ass back under and greased the ever dry pin and figured all would be well. At first there was a noticeable difference but after a few miles and turns my problem is back. You can tell it is dragging on the bottom side closest to the hat. There is a ring about .5" in diameter.
Possible solutions foud: 1. Your hub bearings are bad. Answer, in replacing all the brake parts I checked them and found they were plenty smooth. 2. Your caliper is bad. Question, how so? What would cause them to dag only at the bottom?
This is really getting on my nerves. ANY feedback I'll take openly.
