[Copied from Quest Forum] My dad has a 2000 Quest (see picture) w/ 89k miles on it. It runs fine, but he is having a problem with his front passenger side brakes. At 80k miles I replaced the old brakes with Bosch pads and Brembo rotors. I noticed that when you are in traffic for about 5-10 miles, the right side makes a grinding sound and vibrates the brake pedal. I am thinking that it might be the caliper, but I am not sure and was wondering what anyone thinks that it might be. I have (super) greased the caliper pins and it is still happening. A few weeks ago I got onto a clear road near my house and opened it up (I know, it is a minivan). I got up to about 80 then hit the brakes hard, but not hard enough to skid. Nothing happened. I did it three more times and still nothing went wrong. Later, I drove it to work (8 mile trip) and it started making the grinding sound as I pulled onto the lot. Does anyone know what is wrong with this van? Thanks.
