Nissan Repair: 2000 quest brakes binding after renewal, caliper pistons, calipers


Question
Why are the brakes binding after I replaced the front pad set? It feels like the brakes are pressed, and won't release.

Answer
Mike,

Check for stuck caliper pistons.  The Quest is known for this.  You might get away with a rebuild kit and a new piston or you could just get a rebuilt set of calipers.  The pistons get corroded and tend to stick after a new set of pads are installed.
