I have an 1997 f150 with 120000mi.
My right front inner wheel bearing went out about
4-5 months ago. I replaced the inner and outer bearings and all is fine with that prob. Now, it seems ever since I made that repair BOTH of the front calipers freeze up whenever the brakes are applied. When the truck moves forward they will release but not without alot of resistance. You can take wheels off, apply brakes and they will freeze up to the point where they cannot be broken free by hand. Brake system has been bled, no kinked hoses or lines. Also, before this happened, it felt as if the truck would pull to the right really hard when brakes were applied. Pads are pretty new, looked at them and they are wearing even. I just dont know. ANY help would be appreciated.
