Hello all,
I have a 95 2 door with 4wd. All four wheels have new brakes and new front rotors. When I took the calipers off, I found that on both front wheels the lower slider pins on the caliper mounting brackets were frozen. I took them apart cleaned them and replaced them. The brakes were fine for a day or two. When they started acting up again, I figured that the pins must have been frozen again. But when I took the calipers off this time the sliders weren't frozen. Im not sure what the problem is. There is a ticking noise comming from one of the wheels, (I think) does that mean the there may be a bad bearing? Would a bad bearing make the brakes pulsate? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Larry

The caliper itself may not be good. You could try flushing the brake fluid also.
-
If the caliper was sticking at all, you could have possibly warped a brake rotor. That would account for the pulsating. Ticking could be a bearing, or a guide spring in the caliper out of place.

Inspect the rotor closely, too. The ticking could also be a cracked rotor...

The rotors are brand new. it seems that they pulsate when the brakes get hot. Also it seems that the ticking only happens when i press the accelerator down. Any ideas what the ticking would be from?
