I want to take care of this as well. Any recommendations? Is that because my caliper is bad or because my e-brake is not adjusted? It used to be good, and I never touched it. Does it tend to go out of adjustment by itself? oh yeah didnt see that post ,the max,s have a very shitty caliper design if thats happenein and the cables are free get new calipers as there not that bad ,also if the caliper is bad the piston wont retract --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rear-calipers-and-e-brake/248809)._
