Front driver brake locking up
Front driver brake locking up Hey everyone yesterday I notices my brakes would touch the floor at stoplights and I decided to replace the front pads since I couldnt remember how old they were. Well the old pads were worn but not extremely bad. I have put the new pads on and took it around the block and it felt good. Got back and my front driver side was very hot! I compressed the piston again and I can not turn this wheel freely. Then I just noticed a leak from the master cylinder. Could a master cylinder only cause the one side to lock up? Thanks guys
fix that leak ASAP. When you installed the new pads did all of the pistons go back easily. Normally when I do a brake job I lube all of the slides on the calipers and check the seals.

Lol yeah this is driving me crazy. I'm trying to think of all possibilities. I do have a line lock and was now thinking maybe it's malfunctioning but I am pretty sure that would affect both front wheels

Currently having the same problem on my 98 z28 but happening on both fronts, I replaced the master cylinder, both calipers, both hoses, caliper brackets, brake hardware, pads and rotors, and still having the same problem. I am actually having it worked on at my dealership tomorrow so I will let you know what they find, who knows may be the same problem you are having. One of the techs on my team said that it could be a tolerance problem and we received parts that were to thick and out of factory spec.
I'll clarify tomorrow if I find anything out.

It may also be your master cylinder, if that seal or cup is leaking then there is a possibility since the system is no longer completely sealed that their is not enough return pressure to retract the caliper's piston the tad bit it needs to get the pad off the rotor.
Thanks everyone. From
Reading it really seems like my problem could the "brake sliders " or pins. Whatever they are called. This sound right? If so I will apply some lube to them and see if that will break them loose.
