2002 crv front brakes. During a state safety inspection they recommended that the slides be greased on the front brakes. During driving a few days later (hadn't got to them yet) there was a vibration from the front wheel but only at speeds above 50mph. Wheel was hot so waited until I could take it apart and grease the slides. Did that today and not as much noise but still heating up (compared to other side). I expect that the rotor will need to be replaced (warped?) but wonder if I should also replace the rest of the brake mechanism??

caliper hanging up or brake hose collapsed. caliper pins o.k. ? when you remove caliper, pull out the two pins in pad saddle & make sure they are free. lube w/caliper grease. are the pad slots cleaned up so you can take pads out & put in w/ fingers ? they need to float freely and pins need to slide in & out freely.
