breaks binding slightly

[JamieD]

Ive just replaced my front break discs and pads. Took it for MOT the next day and he said the pads are binding slightly. I was jsut a caution nothing to fail it though.


What can I do to stop this and what it the likley cause? When I fitted them I cleaned off all of the break dust from the area around the pads. Could it be the piston is sticking? in which case how can i fix this?

Or should I just leave them and they will fix themselves as the bed in? I havent checked them yet Ive done about 200 miles since i fitted them, when the mot was done they had only done 7 miles or something like that.

Ive got the same problem I think, must have done at least 400 miles since replacing but did brake a bit strongly for a long distance before the brakes were bedded in at about 100 miles (from about 70 to 10 in as short a distance as possible with brakes not fully effective). my right front brake still has an annoying squeek and seems to stick after standing for a while.

Sorry, no solution though
