2G AWD Caliper bad? How to test?

[The Chazz]

My left front caliper on my 2G AWD........well, won't stop "pushing" it's pistons out no matter what.

How do I check/know if a caliper has gone bad?

Thanks!

Anyone....any ideas? Or just I just swap it.

Don't bump your thread.


Can you compress the piston back in to the caliper? Or is it seized?

Did ya run the brakes pad out, I had the same prob with my front caliper come to find out it was the caliper that went bad never relieved pressure after using the brakes.

Not seized...can move the pistons back but they do not have the ability to stay there.

I believe the guy before me just answered.

Thanks a ton.....looks like i'll be driving it home soon!
