willygee: concur on driving hard and pulling into dealership,, but would like to do some additional troubleshooting before i do that. The dealership i took the van to didn’t seem to interested in my business. Van is not under warranty. It has been three years since i bought it.
GBL:
I live in DC. The van has not seen any major snow, slush, etc. It is not a daily driver, i metro to work, and the van is mostly garaged. I can’t remember ever driving it in snow. I drive it weekends, and a few times during the week. It may go 3 days without a drive, max.
Pics of disk attached. Note, there is no pulsing when i apply brakes. There was no pulsing before the seize, or after i replaced the caliper, pads, and hose. The pics are before the caliper replacement. Replacement caliper was sourced from NAPA.
Also note that when i now apply the brakes at a stop, then release and press the gas, there is a creak from the brakes. I am assuming this is because the pads have not fully released from the disk.
There is that white material on the edge of the disk….
