Resistance on my right front wheel uhmmmm
 

When i jack the car and try to turn the wheel with my hand, my right front wheel doesn't turn like the left one, its look like the right one have more resistance...i heard some "toc toc toc" when i was going 50mph and more for the last two day but i don't hear it anymore and my direction is good.
Only have 34 000km uhmmmm

what can it be? brake a little bit jam ?

Get a pair of jack stands if you don't already have some so you can safely stick your head in there.

jack the car and remove the wheel. Does the caliper look crooked? Do both of the rubber boots over the guide pins look evenly opened?

Are the pads wearing evenly?

My money is on it has something to do with this lol.

It can be, i was running on bc racing coilovers extrem low but i get the oem install 40 days ago(for the winter), and it start to have a resistance this week after not driving for a couple day.

Wheel bearing could be going but that makes lots of noise??

Oh, shit. Good catch.

Check that your caliper isn't sticking. If the slides have not been cleaned up in a while the cold can make them stick.

Back in the day ...... it would either have been a brake shoe dragging or a bad wheel bearing or a wheel adjusted down too tight against the bearing.

But on your car, today ....it ....it ...... what were we talking about ...... ??

probably a sticking piston in the caliper

But shouldn't really happen on a car this new because it is usually due to corrosion in the piston.

thanks for the advise guys, didn't think about checking the piston.
Anyway still on the full waranty so if i can't find what happen, i will give a call to toyota ! :thumbup:

A binding piston will cause pads to wear unevenly. Unevenly worn pads will cause pistons to bind. It's a vicious circle and is why, no matter how little the wear, I always replace rotors when I replace pads. People will disagree.

Assuming the boots over the pots are healthy, the best place for them to do their thing is when they're fully retracted. The more they are extended, the more they can get cocked sideways & jam.

It's cheap insurance.

I had a similar problem with mine at around 60,000kms. It was intermittent, and I did not want to deal with the dealer/tech not being able to find the issue because it would only happen some of the time. I bit the bullet and paid for a right front caliper out of pocket, and installed it myself. That fixed the problem. IIRC, a loaded caliper/bracket was around $300CDN from Scion.


To test the theory, have a spray bottle handy with some water in it. Go for a drive (higher than in town speeds would be better) for say 5-10 minutes, pull the car over, and spray each rotor with a bit of water. A little "psss" from the heat of just stopping may be normal, but if that right front steams and hisses noticeably more than the others, I'd say a sticky caliper is a pretty safe bet.

If its still under full warranty go to dealer. Its their headache.

After a good drive where you use the brakes some (not all highway) feel the front wheels. Does the sticky side wheel feel hotter than the other side?
