Turn up the music

My rear left inside pad sticks to the disk at times, I finally diagnosed the problem today. Still a dodgy caliper tho as it is not retracting.

Anyway!, yesterday took the car to near 100 and braked hard and the noise stopped for the majority of the day until the brakes cooled down.

it works but only short term.

Also, there may be dirt stuck in the pad face, check that out also
