Ive noticed my front left (driverside) brake locks up easier than my right.. is this normal and also when i am hard on the breaks there is almost an audible hum as i stop... ive looked at my breaks and they seem to not be perfectly smooth but they are not grinding.. im thinkin it may be from past griding. My question is If i change rotors and pads Should that help my breaks from lockin up relativly easily?

it depends on the brake rotors and pads that you buy
some pads will have more 'bite' and will grab a lot easier, locking up the wheels when hitting the brakes too hard
here's a really good thread on how brakes work, and what you can do to make them better http://www.nissanforums.com/showthre...eshold+braking

U NEED A NEW CALIPER, Pads and rotors don't lock up unless instaled wrong. A caliper that compressos around the pads is what locks up and Furks ur hole sh!t up. Buy a new caliper and I suggest if your breaks are worn do them all in 1 shot. make sure theres no grooves in your rotors.
Yup thats what happened to me, brake locking up all the time. Changed the caliper as stated above and all is well. BTW make sure you bleed the system after your done.

Ive had the car for a year and the brakes i have never touched so ill check out the caliper cause taht left side rotor is smooth.
