Braking problems
 

This car of mine gives me lots of problems. Couple of weeks ago I checked the brake pads when I fixed something on my suspension ( don't ask, you wont be an accessory ). That was two weeks. Front left one pad has reasonable wear but still good. Next thing I know its worn out and chewed the brake disk ( Yea if you have a comment about the sort of genius it took for me to let my car do that plz p.m. me, don't post it here. Lets keep this thread clean ).

That corner brake has locked up and superheated a bearing before ... shares a line with the front right, which is fine. Also get a creaking-grabbing noise when I apply the brakes -when stationary- and a bit of a grr - grr - grr - grr ( sometimes ) stopping

Calliper, disk, pad replaced. This is starting to drive me totally nuts. In a bad way. What can cause this sorta thing if it isn't any of those ??

one of the bolts in the caliper loose?

once one of mine broke and i went to stop and it really felt like i just drove over a brick which hit my floorpan
i had to drive to our workshop and brake using the handbrake (which was certainly interesting lol)

This all happened when I shot up the road to drop off a courrier package at the depo. Urgent-quick turned into hush-quiet and my day finished there. Stuff customers my car needs me.

Automatics really do engine brake !
