Brake noise help?
Hey guys!
My 89 has had a nasty rubbing noise while driving it since I bought it. I took the wheel off to check the brakes and found that they had plenty of material left on them. The rotors were quite heavily surface rusted where the pads don't run, and actually quite hot to the touch (after driving home from school during my spare). I spun the rotor, and it didn't seem to wobble, so I don't think it is badly warped. The sound is coming from the inside brake pad, I think it is constantly rubbing the rotor. The truck also grabs / jerks quite bad when you go to stop as well as pulling to the right constantly while driving. Is there some way that a guy can adjust the caliper to bring that rear pad off the rotor? Also, when I take corners, my driver's side wheel has a little bit of a rub / squeak. It makes no noise otherwise. I took it's wheel off as well, and all looked good.
