Hey guys. I noticed a weird sound so I looked at my breaks. The rotor is worn down to the fins In the center. So I replaced the calipers, rotors, and pads. I drive to work, it's fine. On the way back they start smoking and eventually the driver front fades out and smoke billows out. The outside of the rotor is the one that was worn down the nothing.it seems like the passenger isnt working that good cuz it takes alot to stop it. What wod be the problem? New calipers, rotor, pads. Fluid is fine. Are the lines bad? Master cylinder ? Thanks

In most situations like this it is the brake caliper goin'. However, since you said u have a new one on there, then u might just need to grease the caliper mounting bolts, they can get dry. but the first thing you should check for is a collapsing rubber brake line.

Ya I replaced the brakes hoses and it seems fine now. I used vise grips to pinch the hose so it wouldn't clench down so I could to get new hoses haha. XD
