Hi all,

I have a problem with the front calipers on my 91 940. These are Girling single piston calipers with ABS. The right front caliper seems to be clamping on the disc tighter than the left one without the pedal being touched. I can lift the car up and spin both front wheels - the left one will spin quite freely but the right stops a lot quicker. The right rotor also has a nice big groove in it so I will have to replace the rotors. The car does not pull to one side when braking though. Any clue as to why? These calipers are about 3 years old are genuine exchange Volvo calipers. I flush the fluid once a year.
I appreciate any help

Thank you
Brad
91 940GL
