So I had a problem with weaing out the left rear brake pads. I thought it was the parking brake cable being too tight so I loosened it.....still had the problem.......so I asked a mechanic about it and he says that the guts of the caliper that control the parking brake are probably rusted out and thats a common problem.......so I ordered a new caliper from IDParts.....guess what......still got the left brake dragging.....the only way I can see this being possible is if by fluke the new caliper is bad? Its not the park brake this time cause if I push the brake pedal with the car jacked up and then go try to turn the tire it is very hard to turn. If I hit the caliper with a hammer then it loosens up......anyone have a suggestion on what to do next I would appreciate it......thanks
