Malfunctioning Brake Caliper
The front disc brake isn't working properly because when you squeeze the brakes, instead of the brake pads being squeezed(well they are being squeezed, but not enough) the caliper is being pulled to the side. That's happening because the caliper has a design that doesn't make sense to me. Its not one solid unit. Between the mounting bracket that has the two screw holes and the rest of the caliper, there's a spring. which causes the caliper to pull to the side. Why isn't the caliper one unit? Why does that spring have to be there? The caliper for the back desk brake is all one unit, so why can't the front one be?
Another thing:
With both the front and back brake, only the pad on the side where the cable comes in actually moves. Is that how its supposed to work? It still grabs the disc with no problem, but disc brakes on a car don't work that way do they?
The brand of the caliper is Twins DA5 or DAS.
