Howdy all,
Just recently picked up a '01 v6 and have been battling with the Check Engine Light. Finally got that all squared away.
I replaced the brake pads all around and started getting a burning smell. At first I thought it was the brake fluid which had overflowed when I compressed the calipers (and turned in the rear's). A quick scrub under the hood at the car wash cleared that away.
The left front caliper was dragging. I could barely turn the wheel. The right front is tight but goes about 10 or 20 degrees after a mighty shove.
I replaced the master cylinder and the left front caliper was still tight so figured it was toasted and changed it as well.
LONG way to the question...
How tight should the wheels be once the master cylinder and calipers are right? It takes a good bit of effort to spin the wheels now.
Thanks!
