caliper sticking?

[sil80drifter]

i was driving the car up and down the road today, then when i came back in the yard the front left caliper was sticking a bit? after a while with it sitting there it came back to normal, what would cause that to happen? i was driving the car hard the past few days so its not cause of it lying up

They just stick over time I think. The same thing happened to my girlfriends car and we got the piston cleaned and regreased but it started sticking again after about a month so she had to get a different caliper.

From what you say, I reckon Heat could be sticking the dodgy one,
then freeing up a bit when cool

apex performance in the uk sell rebuild kits for them cheap enough try tat or else strip it all down and grease it up

I had my big left cailper seized, and it was always seized I never noticed till one pad was completley shot and other wasnt, get a screw driver, fold back the rubber, spray in wd40, ta daa!
