hi guts
i have a vauxhall meriva 2006 which on test showed a imbalance of 50% on o/s/f compared n/s to o/s front + bind on o/s/f
on striping down the brakes it was noted that the brake was bedded into lip on disk due to build up of deposits in pad seats as i will call them, the lip on the disk is approximate 1 mm... not very much at that.
ive sprayed white grease onto the slides behind rubbers, tested that the piston moves in either direction, cleaned and copper slipped brake backs and seat where the brake pads slide into possition.
on test again the machine displayed 360 nearside to 300 offside.
so my burning question is what now can be done to improve the imbalance
disk are fine replace last year i think it was as i say only 1mm lip on them
caliper works fully extends and retracts free moving on slides
thanks guys hope to hear back from you soon
