1995 850 - How to Determine if Rear Caliper Pistons are Sticking? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be NateB on  Wed Jul 21 00:05 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I believe I've narrowed my rear brake shudder problem to the rear brake rotors.

After 10 years and 85K miles they may be warped and once hot shudder at slow speed when coming to a stop.

When I replace the rotors what should I look for on the Calipers to make certain they are in good working order. How do I make certain the caliper pistons are not binding?

Obviously if one of my rotors is ground down it'll be easy to tell.

Good bit of news- the guy that repirs ABS modules emailed me back to let me know the 1995 model year 850's do not have abs module failure - at least he's never seen one fail. Hence he has no need to offer a service to fix them. Apparently, he has his hands full fixing the 96+ abs modules.

Thanks

NateB
