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.
