Why right front caliper locks up when driving without touching brake pedal ok after it cools down 2002 ford focus?

Each brake has a black flex hose going to the brake cylinder. One of the little black hoses on your front brakes is bad. For some reason they sometimes collapse on the inside and will allow fluid to flow to the brake but not return as it normally does. By the time it cools down the pressure has released itself and everything appears normal.

Had new wheels put on and ticks when braking what is it?
The noise is the brake caliper body touching the stick-on wheel weights that were placed inside the wheel to balance it. The wheels probably leave very little room between them and the brake caliper. When you press the brake, the caliper body slides outward a bit (this is normal) and starts touching the wheel weights that were previously, just barely, not touching the caliper. Who ever put your wheels on didn't do anything wrong, except they didn't test drive it afterwards (a good tech always does a confirmation test drive after every repair). If they would have, they would have heard the noise and did this repair. They need to grind away at the caliper body just enough to make sure the caliper doesn't touch the wheel weights. The weights probably can't be moved without throwing the wheels out of balance. The other option is to put the original wheels back on the car because they are designed with the proper amount of clearance.
