I've changed the brake pads, caliper, rotor and master cylinder and the brake is still sticking. I replaced the caliper a second time thinking it was defective but that didn't help. The first few times of braking it's ok then it starts sticking again. Can anyone offer any info?

Visitor, October 21, 2010, 20:19Have you solved your brake problem? I have a 96 Dodge Van 2500 with the same story, except both front brakes are lightly sticking. I would be glad to know if you've identified the problem. Thanks. Cxo.

sherrywine121, October 21, 2010, 21:06RookieWe solved the problem, I sold the truck. I did get a reply from a Mopar guy. He said to make sure the hydraulic system was completely void of any trapped air and also make sure there are no grooves in the steering knuckle where the brake pads rest on. If the surface is deeply grooved replace the knuckle. Hope this will help you.
Good Luck, SherryFlag This -
