Smelly Front Brake

[ExplodingCake]

Everytime I drive on hot days , whenever I go out of my car after I drive it my front left brake smells like burned shit. The right brake is just fine.

I don't feel any drag on the vehicle , I don't feel any power loss , I don't see it slowing down quick when I let go of the gas while in motion. I have ceramic pads on em which costs $50 , so no cheapy pads here.

There are no fluid leaks either except for the wheel cylinder on my rear right drum.

I got new discs and pads installed by a mechanic 6 months ago and I thought it would disappear , but it's still there.

Any ideas what it is?

Probable unotieable sticking caliper? Need better pads? Needs more bleeding? Bolts need more lubrication?

I see. I wasn't really sure about it.

Thanks.

Double check the slide pins and lubricate if necessary.

Make sure your caliper is clean and doesn't have anything on it from the road. Everything attached to the brakes gets hot, so you have to check it all. You could always just wash everything with soapy water.
