I have Bendix on my car, pretty sure they are the original brand.

well i dont know the cause of bad calipers....but these are my problems at the moment. first off my brakes are worn down on one side, when i pull my tire off today i have deep groves in my rotors (i know i know; im replacing them this weekend) since i have new rotors and brakes ready to put on i dont want to ruin them with faulty calipers. (i think there faulty) anywho while just driving i hear a high pitched noise also when im going in first gear with out high revs i hear a grind. the high pitch is not always noticeable though. or maybe its not even there. so high pitch a high speeds; and also grinds a low speeds (with no brake applied) high pitch goes away when i press the brakes and returns after i take foot off brakes.
