Front disc brakes can lock up due to several factors, including excessive braking force, a malfunctioning brake system, or poor tire traction. When too much pressure is applied to the brake pedal, the friction can exceed the tire's grip on the road, leading to skidding. Additionally, issues such as worn brake pads, a stuck caliper, or uneven weight distribution can contribute to brake lock-up. Proper maintenance and adjusting driving technique can help prevent this issue.
buy a new disk brake
Quite possibly an ABS* failure. Have that looked at. *ABS - Anti-Lock Braking System.
Lots of them, disk clean up, disk fragmentation, that moves the data up front for faster access, check disk for error's, blow out dust from inside
If you have lock outs or free spinning front hubs, you turn the center of each front hub to lock them in. If you don't have lock outs, they lock in when you put it in four wheel drive. To unlock them, take it out of four wheel and slowly back up 3 to 5 feet.
is it disk up front drums in back
Anti-lock breaks is safety devise. How it works is when your going a good spead down the road and you jam on the breaks. It will push the break petal back up. It wants you to pump the breaks so you wont skid. I took mine out I don't like it.
When you hit the bump and you have the brakes applied, the tire will lock up when the tire is air-born for a moment.
A front tire can lock up while driving due to factors such as sudden braking, worn brake pads, a malfunctioning anti-lock braking system (ABS), or low tire pressure.
if back brakes are drum i would think they are worn out not allowing pistons in wheel cylanders to return. also could be valve in master cylander.altho that would cause all brakes to lock up. if disk brakes your calipers need overhauling or replacing
Depending on the vehicle I had one lock up because of a bad brake caliper. If you have four wheel drive it could be your front diff locking up I would start by looking at the calipers.
yeah sometimes my breaks lock up too when I try to stop too fast, perhaps you should break sooner and this will help
The actuator is located on the front axle.
