Post subject:  Brakes sticking
Went out to the lake over the weekend... had to pull a couple trucks out of the mud. It was a nasty mess getting out to them. After all was said and done there were no funny sounds took to car wash tried to clean as much as the mud off as I could still no noises. Next day sounds like the driver side front brake is sticking when applied also makes noise when getting in and out of vehicle and sharp turns. Could this be mud in the brakes maybe calipers? If I took the driver side tire off is it safe to directly power wash the rotor and brake system? Suspension seems fine when going over speed bumps no sounds. Any advice would be helpful before I have to take into dealership.

Blasting it with a pressure washer wont hurt it. Give it a try.

try taking off your wheels independently and pressure washing the hell out of them, and since you're gonna be down there make sure to take a little extra time to clean and wash out the skids if you have some. This is what I did after I sunk my KK in mud, worked great.

P.S

the skids will act as shovels and fill up with mud.

Hey thanks guys... took all the skids off and power washed all the rotors brake pads was a nasty mess. So one noise goes away and another starts and instead of trying to figure it out just took it in guy said bent a flange and watched him beat it straight with a hammer. Gas tank had a nasty dent in it time for a new skid. Got to get a lift on this beast!
