Thecaliper is still good, and the Brake Pads are still good from the last changed. They are glazed on and the brake system of my 1998 Ford Explorer Sport Edition is making a hard noise, the steering wheel to shake, and the car pulls to the drivers side when the brakes are pressed. I need help because I have two days to figuire the problem out. Is it the rusted rotor on the passenger side, the caliper, the lower ball joint, the idler arm , tire rod, or the pitman arms? Help please.

OK. I don’t know how this ended up in Arts and Humanities, but here we are. Suggest you reask the question in the transportation category. Anyway, pulling to one side indicates that the caliper on the other side is NOT working or the brake pad is seriously damaged. The caliper may be frozen or it just may have air in it. Since the vehicle is over 10 years old I am going to guess the caliper is frozen. Pad glazing is usually from getting really hot, like a stuck caliper. If the pad is glazed it is not "still good". Sorry. I am gonna guess you are looking at a new caliper and new brake pads. My advice is to replace both calipers at the same time because when one fails, the other is certain to follow – you know, just like headlights.

Best of luck.
