General Maintenance & Repairs - Front wheel drag

how much drag is on the front wheels? Up on a hoist the front wheels don't spin freely.How much drag do the callipers leave what pulls them off the rotors? I have had the callipers off an seems ok yet they do not seem to binor anything. any ideas rebiuld the calipers????

Up on a hoist the front wheels don't spin freely. No properly maintained car on the planet will do this. The brake pads ride very close to the rotor and pull away as the car speeds up and air flows between the rotor and pad. So, some is normal but a lot is not normal.

As long as you can move the slider pins by hand, you are good. If not, you have a binding problem.

i can move by hand just seems tight to me i try and spin the wheel by hand and it wont make a full revolution.
