  1993 Nissan Quest brake problem 10:45 AM 6/29/2008

Have had the 93 Quest for 12 years. Have had very little trouble only replacing one fuel injector and standard maintenance. We are currently having brake problems mainly on passenger side, but occurs on both sides. After driving a few miles and using the brakes the brakes begin to drag. They get so hot the wheel is hot. Took to local mechanic and rotor, pads, master cylinder and brake line hose were replaced on both sides. We continue to have the same problem experiencing it more often in warmer weather. Anyone else out there had this problem and can give us an idea of what to do.

I'd start by lubricating your caliper sliders. After that I'd be looking at replacing calipers.

Yeah, calipers are pretty much the only thing left after everything you've done.

Once I worked on a Maxima with the same issue. The owner of the Maxima had the system checked over like you did but still had the same problem. When I looked at it I noticed that the rubber brake line to the caliper was pig tailed. It had an extra curl where it shouldn't have. Once I uncurled it and tested the effectiveness of that action, I found that it corrected the issue. Recheck the way the lines are before condemning the calipers. If they look to be fairly uncurled then, by all means, replace the calipers. Remember to lubricate the sliders and clean the contact points between the pads and the bracket, and lightly lube those points as well, before you reinstall the calipers! The good thing is that it's an easy diagnosis that guys here know about, from what I see so far. It can only be one or the other. You know?
