hey i have an 87 300zx z31 turbo i bought the car a few months back and recently i came across this problem shorty after doing a full brake job where my rear right brake caliper started dragging and making this loud rattling noise. So i ended up replacing it and that solved my dragging brake problem, but then the rattling noise came back. Ive been trying to find out but i had no luck. Have any of you experienced This? If So can you offer any suggestions or solutions to my problem.

 

take the calipers apart and be sure they are clean and lubricated (silicon grease only)
OR

 

I have a similar issue - driver side.

Dragging. I pulled the rear wheel to find my nearly new ceramic brake pads just about totally used up. (guess that explains the drop in MPG lately).

Calipers are reman'd units that I installed back in December, so I'm hoping it's not those. You can bet I'll be back at the parts store getting a warranty replacement if it is. I just hate bleeding brakes, and the wife bitches when she has to come out and pump the pedal for me.

If it's a sticking E brake cable, I'm hoping it releases as soon as I disconnect it. It's been 110 degrees plus, and I just discovered this when I got home from work yesterday so I'll tear into it this weekend.

Also have a newly torn CV boot No one, and I mean NO ONE has reman'd CV shafts for this so I guess I'm redoing the boots too. The torn boot made a mess under the car that'll take a can of brake cleaner to get cleaned up....all over the muffler too, so it stinks.
