First how common are these? Had to slam on my brakes going 70mph. Essentially, once I slammed on the brakes the tire's didn't even move. There's now a flat spot on the tire where I had to stop. The tire basically went from full tread to nearly bald. I'll post pics, it's pretty crazy.
Anyway, I bought new wheels/tires and now there's a light chirping between the rotor and the pad. Replaced both the rotor and the pad and used a c-clamp to push the caliper back in. The first day it sounded fine. But the more I drive it, the more it's starting to chirp.
Really thinking this is a sticking caliper but wasn't sure how common they are. The chirping can be heard on both wheels. When I replaced the pads and rotors on Sunday I had to beat the caliper off with a rubber mallet because it was tight against the rotor.
