I had no problem compressing the calipers completely, and the caliper and rotors are virtually rust free. I don't think they would have seized on both fronts. If there was rust caught up between the hub and rotor would this smooth out or would it always cause problems?

Ya, I was really hoping it was the shield. I actually jacked it up and you can here it catch especially bad in one spot when you spin the wheel, but a solid dragging sound is heard the whole time it spins. I drove it again and it almost sounds like it is worse when I turn the wheel. I am...

Hey, I just finished replacing front rotors and pads. I had no trouble except the caliber was very difficult to slide back over the rotor. I almost had to torque the caliper in order for the bolts to align with the holes. I was able to bolt the calipers down, but I am now getting a rhythmic...
