    Front caliper not grabbing

    Been having somewhat spongy braking, I went about bleeding and checking brake fluid. Here is what I found on the passenger side. the back side is smooth and normal.

    the sliders on your caliper are seized they are supposed to move freely. you can try and free it up but its worth it just buying a new caliper.

    thanks mkymonkey

    Your brake hose on that side could be colapsed.
    2011 Is going to be my year to do it or give it up!
