Driver front caliper locked up a few weeks ago.. replaced with new calipers, pads, and now drivers is locked up AGAIN. Pulls opposite way.. driver side steel rim is hot as a frying pan... Smells on driver side... So before i warranty out the driver side caliper and it go bad AGAIN, is there a reason this side keeps locking up??, Even with new calipers?
The brake lines are newer under 1200 miles. I did the 90s truck lines when i relifted to 5.5" back in Jan 2017. (Brand New napa)
Should i say screw it and just warranty driver caliper and buy a new driver line? I know you should always do calipers in pairs, but think its okay to just do drivers since its within like 300 miles?
Other info, before the caliper locks up, the jeep brakes squeel as if the pads are low (which they are not) for a few miles. So i sort of get a heads up lol, it did this before the new calipers too.
Ive done a few brake jobs and am not shy to them. Ive even done masters and boosters, i know steps and procedures, thus being why im so stumped, im mentally writing it off as faulty parts, but whats the odds.
In the end, just replace driver caliper and line?
