My Brakes Don't Seem Fully Release - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

KJL · 08-16-2018

My brakes seem to grab a bit even when my foot is not on the pedal. My ebrake is off. If my car is in neutral and not in gear, I can not push it. I don't go through brake pads so it is not much but more than I see with my other cars. I expect some drag but not that much. Any thoughts as to what could be the cause?

Caliper pistons are sticky and need a cleaning is my first guess.

Slides on Caliper are sticky is second guess.

Remove Calipers and give them a good cleaning and a new coat of red paint when you are there
