I am going to hazard a guess and say the the calipers are bad and not retracting properly when taking you foot off of the brake pedal. could also be clogged brake hoses that connect the caliper to the brake lines that go to the proportioning valve on the master cylinder. best to have a mechanic look at this problem, It CAN start a fire.
When rotors need to be changed usually the pads have worn down. It is always a good idea to change pads when changing rotors.
Volvo pads and rotors are the best ones to use. Most aftermarket pads and rotors seem to make braking noise
If the rotors are in good condition, not warped, not scratched, then you can replace the pads without turning the rotors. Inspect the rotors carefully.
It has both Rotors and Pads. In other words disc brakes
Some as the pads and rotors break in but it shouldn't be excessive.
The rotors should be smooth, no grooves where the pads touch.The rotors should be smooth, no grooves where the pads touch.
No, new brake pads should not be tight against the rotors during installation. There should be a small gap between the pads and the rotors to allow for proper braking performance and to prevent excessive wear on the pads and rotors.
Don't know about calipers - have never needed to replace those. If you are replacing, yourself, the parts (pads and rotors) will cost anywhere from $120 up for front pads and rotors (pads $20 up for a full set, rotors $45 up each). If you check the web, there are some sites where you can order an entire set (pads and rotors) for around $90.
Possible wrong rotors???
Pads are worn down Rotors are rusty and scoured Dirt and grit have been trapped between pads and rotors
depends on the condition od the pads. If worn or have groves etc from the rotors then replace.
