Is it binding or am I reading too much into it?

Hello everyone,

Here is the rear wheel spin and here is front wheel spin.

Both front wheels ate like that. If it binding then what shall I do? Service the caliper or replace them.

Please help.

Regards

Best to take it for a short drive, only a mile or two then put your hand on the centre of the wheel. If it's hot then it's binding

No problem

Drove 2 miles and touched the disk it quite warm bordering hot.

Is it dangerous to travel on motorway for 100 miles?

You don't touch the disk, cover the nissan badge with your hand

You'll be fine driving 100 miles but if you're unsure get them checked at a garage

But that is the cover and there is vacuum space and it is plastic. It was cold.

If the calipers are sticking it'll heat up the disc to a point where the disc will heat up the wheel, thats what I said to touch the wheel

Unless it's REALLY binding, it'll more just reduce fuel economy, but if its binding quite badly it'll limit your braking capacity somewhat
