Since I bought the truck a few years ago I noticed that the front brakes made a rubbing type noise(not quite a "squeal", more like a chair dragging on a hard floor). Finally I started to hear a grind so I opted to change my pads. When I took the driver side caliper apart I saw metal to metal wear on the top of the rotor. The old pad still had some material left but the top wore unevenly making metal to metal contact with the rotor.
I took the caliper apart, regreasing the pins, which looked salvageable, and greased the backing pad to prevent squeal.
However, the noise as well as the uneven wear is still present. I fear I may have to replace the caliper but I don't know what's wrong exactly.
Any thoughts?
