Well, ive been having alot of pulsating and squeeking with just my rear brake for some time now (about a year) and I still cant figure out how to fix my bike.
At first i just didnt really care, but now when i get done with even a short trip down the street my rotor is hot as hell (burned my fingers pinching it for a second)
I took off the caliper and the pistons seem to move alright, i mean when i brake they squeeze together and when i let off they undo (like as much as a hair is wide)... but i think they are soposed to only move a tiny bit kuz they are floating brakes right?
the only thing is my pads touch together like a triangle... heres a little picture

the one pad just stays crooked like that. I can press it back and it stands straight up then when i let go it just falls back down like that.... i dono if the pins are bent or what but its causing a ton of heat buildup which is probably why the rotor is warped (if its warped, hope not but with my luck...)
can anyone help? any tips, what the funk should i do.....
i just spent $300 on new tires and 2500 on a new mac so i dont have money to waste on some mechanic to dick around with my sh*t
