Falling front brake pad

[KBoomBoxx]

So for the past few days I have been having some problems coming from the front drivers side wheel... I thought that the bearings were starting to go... so today I take the wheel off and find out that the rear brake pad was on the verge of falling off all together? It had moved out of place... if you know how the back pad is wedged in place, the top of it was out of the normal position so that it was kind of angled more towards the front of the vehicle? strangest thing that has ever happened to me... so me and a friend starting replacing the pads and the other side had a caliper that started leaking fluid when we compressed it to get the new pads in place? Anyone else have anything similar happen to them?

Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?

I've had pads crack and pieces fall off them before. It's possible it either cracked or became disbonded (if they're bonded pads).

Did you replace the leaking caliper?

Did you replace the leaking caliper?

No



YES... however I think that I messed up the ABS... the light is on and won't go out... I am guessing that I need to re-bleed the entire system...
