I have replaced my front brakes two or three times with in a year and a half. Four months ago I replaced my rotors calipers and pads. But the passesnger side front brakes still burn out the pads and rotors. My step dad thought it was a flex line problem so we replaced that. But I still find that my brakes feel like they won't let go after I let off the pedal and when i stop I smell burning pads. Is this a usual problem people with my car have or is it just my luck. How ever the case may be what else can you suggest I do?

first things first, jack up whole front end.
THEN from there apply the brakes with enough pressure to stop the passanger side, then turn the driver side they both the same difficulty? try thorughout a range of motions.

give each tire a spin, one spin longer?

basically what im trying to figure out is if one is grabbing harder when brakes are applied or if one is sticking.

get back to me.
