Perhaps a bad master cylinder--return plugged or restricted As friction develops at rotors brake fluid expands and pushes back into master cylinder if return is restricted, expanded fluid will cause caliper piston to put pressure on rotor, essentially applying the brakes
NOTE: I had same problem with front left and it was the Caliper, had to rebuild the caliper

How can you tell if you need new brake calipers?
If your calipers are leaking they need to be rebuilt or replaced. If the vehicle pulls to one side or the other when braking it could also indicate a problem with one of the calipers.
1987 Saab 900 breaks and calipers?
Like all cars, Saab 900s have brakes. The calipers are part of the braking system. The braking system was basically the same on all Saab 99s and 900s from 1975 to 1987. What's the question?
What would cause the steering to pull to one side during heavy braking but not during light braking The rotors calipers wheel cylinders have been replaced on front and rear.?
My guess would be that you might have a bad brake hose to one of the front calipers.
Does a 1988 Volvo 240 dl have anti lock braking?
No. The Volvo 240 Series of cars did not receive Anti-Lock Braking until 1991. It does, however, have a four wheel disc brake setup with four calipers per rotor on the front axle, and two calipers per rotor on the rear with a triangulated braking circuit, as opposed to a conventional split braking circuit, which happens be found in the ABS equipped models.
Are back brake calipers the same on non turbo as turbo?
The brake calipers can be the same the front calipers on turbo cars is normally bigger as up to 90% of your braking force is on the front brakes but the back ones are somtimes bigger not always
How long brakes last and how they perform depends on?
Mostly driving habits (hard braking instead of steady gradual braking) but there are many other factors. If you do a lot of city driving, that will cause significantly more wear than if you drive mostly on the highway. Vehicle condition; were the rotors in good condition when the brakes were done and are the calipers working correctly? If the calipers are sticking, it will cause premature pad failure. Quality of the pads matter also, you know the phrase "You get what you pay for". If you can afford to buy better pads, you should...
Why do the rear disc brakes stay locked up after you let off the pedal on a 1999 Chevy blazer s-10?
usually either the calipers have dirt in them and need to be replaced or the rubber lines leading to them have collapsed inside and need to be replaced.. really kills the gas mileage uh!! chevy has had problems with rear discs on these vehicles,70%of braking is on the front,30% on the rear. therefore the pistons get little use and stick. there are stainless sliders the calipers move on,you need to clean and lubricate them,this should stop the brakes from dragging. I have a 1999 Blazer and my rear brakes were grinding so I replaced the pads and rotors but had the same sticking problem. They dont offer a rebuild kit for my calipers so I had to replace the calipers also.
Keep warping front rotors replaced lines calipers are very free any ideas?
Make sure you do not overtorque the wheel lug nuts. If that doesn't work try switching to OEM (Honda) rotors. I know they are more expensive, but will take care of your braking problems.
How do you resolve rear calipers that fire only when the E-brake is applied not when braking on a 1998 MAXIMA?
Have you replaced your rear pads or calipers? May have air in the lines. The reason the E- brake works is because it is engaged by a cable and has nothing to do with the hydraulics of your brake system.
New front brake pads and rotors have been installed on a 2001 Toyota and now the brakes jump and or vibrate when applied the problem is when you're braking at speeds over 40.?
There must be either some air in your lines or a weak brake caliper. If you have new rotors and brakes then your problem lies within your lines or your calipers. The vibration means that your car is not braking even. One of your calipers could be loose and the other one is tight. If air is in your lines, then that means even though your car is coming to a stop, your calipers are not getting enough pressure to squeeze as tight as they should be.
Is it dangerous to put the wrong size tires on my car?
Yes, it can cause you a multitude of problems, such as braking.
What causes intermittent air movement sounds and burning smell on 2005 dodge grand caravan?
it is most likely the brake calipers sticking, as I recently had this problem on my 2007 dodge grand caravan. They did not do it all the time, but would stick out for a brief period of time after braking, thus causing the burning smell, and then shortly after retract far enough so that there was no longer cantact, and therefore, the burning smell then went away.
