Front brakes

My passenger front brakes seem to drag more. That particular wheel always produces more brake dust. When you jack up the car and spin the tire it doesnt roll freely like the drivers side front tire. Just seems like it is getting a little constant pressure

Is there a proportioning valve anywhere?

Thanks

Sounds like a sticking caliper.

Take the whole assembly apart and re grease your sliding pins, make sure you check your caliper pistons to make sure they are no seized.

OK thanks for the replys guys. The sliding pins you are refering to are the clips that go on the sides of the pads correct?

No, the pins are slid into the caliper mounting brackets. There is 2 on each bracket and they have rubber boots that are located at the ends of them to prevent dirt, and so on from entering. If you are having problems finding them, pm me and I will help.
