After hearing a clicking sound my friend took his 2000 Lexus to his mechanic. They drove it, did not hear anything. They put it on the lift and told him the right from wheel was frozen - other wheel turned freely, and the caliper was purple and he need a new set of calipers including a break job for only $1,700.

Only $1,700 for a brake job? I sure hope those new calipers are gold plated!

Break jobs cost more than brake jobs, I guess.
