Front Brakes 03,3500

[TRedwine]

What component do I need to look at, have changed the calipers,rotors,pads and bled the system twice. The right side is eating up the pads much faster than the left side. Thanks for any help.

Did you lubricte the slide pins? I know there are many threads about thorough brake jobs that I read just before tackling my rotor and pad (and bleeder screw) replacement project on all four corners.

I wiil have to do that, thanks ,maybe thats the problem.

And by lubricate, I think the general practice is to put a very thin coating of anti-sieze compound on them.

There is a special grease made for brake system components. It's very thick and has a very high temp rating. You can buy it in small packets at the parts store for a couple dollars. I would prefer brake grease to antisieze, but I have used both in the past. Make sure you have high temp antisieze and don't use too much.



**Clean the slides very thoroughly** and lube them lightly.
