Hello all i decided to replace the break senssor that has been missing on the front left of my car since i bought it to get rid of the annoying red break lineing light and noticed that the anti rattle clip was missing of the driverside(question # 1 is there supposed to be on on the drivers side?) so i replaced the sensor, put in new anti rattle clip and noticed the brakes felt funny jacked up the car took everything apart again and reassembled i used a c clamp to compress the piston into the caliper a little bit to get the caliper back around the rotor and it went back in with no effort but it seems like it is dragging on the rotor now. i spn the passenger side and it spins almost freely when i spin the drivers side it feels almost stuck, spin it with out the caliper attatched and it spins fine i think i can rule out the bearing. any suggestion? Thanks in advance ~JOHN BANNER~
