2008 TSX, AT, just started making a intermittent screeching noise which I think is coming from the front brakes. I applied the parking brake, put the car in neutral, and jacked up one side of the car. The front wheel on that side was really hard to turn by hand. I pulled the wheel, but couldn't see anything that looked out of the ordinary. Repeated these procedures on the other side, and that wheel was just as difficult to turn. Is this normal?
To expand on the above: I made a short trip to refuel, and I kept hearing intermittent screeching/dragging sounds along the way. Occasionally it would stop if I applied light braking. I felt the front rotors when I returned home, and both fronts were scorching hot. The rears were definitely cooler. Not sure if that indicates anything, since the front brakes do 2/3 - 3/4 of the braking.
Any ideas? Are the pads supposed to be that "tight" against the rotor? Does this sound like I need my front calipers rebuilt/replaced?
I'll drive my Tacoma the rest of the week, then try to dive into the front brakes a little deeper this weekend.
