Ekona Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Seized, not ceased. No biggie, but they do mean different things and it took me a while to work out what you meant. It can happen, but you may have early onset of a failed or sticky caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) I get this after washing the car or heavy rain, the discs and pads corrode together. It only started happening since putting hi metal content pads on. One clunk and away Edited April 19, 2013 by SteveW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Re bedding in the brakes usually helps me, as a layer of brake pad material is on the disc after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
