so I am home on vacation and am driving my sisters 1999 f-150. She tells me that some times the front right brake stick when it gets hot. I drove the truck for two weeks with no problem and low and behold my last day here the brake sticks only she was wrong it is not just the front passenger side it is both fronts. she has had it into several shops but no one can tell here what is wrong with it. already had both callipers replaced twice according to her but I guess no one can duplicate the problem when she goes to the shop so that is part of the problem. It only seems to happen on hot days also any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks.

 

when was the last time the fluid was changed??whats the condition of the hoses??

 

the fluidwas change about 3 months ago and the line are in good shape. brand new line were put on the passenger side about a year ago due to an accident

 

I recently replaced my front rotors and pads. The right side had gotten down to metal on metal and destroyed the rotor. The left side had plenty of friction material. And yes, I bled the brakes.

Right after I did this service, I noticed that the right side would grab just enough, and under very low speeds, enough to turn the steering wheel about 20 degrees. That, however, has gone away.

So, yesterday and this morning, I made my normal 15 minute drive to work and noticed that the front right reeks of brakes. And that wheel has 2-3 times more brake dust on it than the front left.

I've also got a 1999 2wd.

 

Are the caliper slides still working properly? I had to replace my driver's side caliper anchor bracket cause the slides were froze tight.

 

I took both sliders out and put fresh grease on them.

 

make sure its the high temp grease. old fluid can cause weird problems like that.

 

Sounds like he bought junk..

 

It was caliper lube grease (by Permatex). And I thought about rebleeding.
