1992 Lincoln Town Car

Question: why would my front brakes lock up while driving.

Question

Visitor, Bella Vista, AR, July 08, 2010, 20:08

I was driving on the road and the front brakes locked shut and the brakes became vary hot. I stop when the floor board became warm and I drive to a gas station and he bled off the front brakes and I was able to make it home. I had the brake rotors and pads replaced about 3 weeks befor.

Why would the front brakes lock up while driving? I was told by a friend that the brake fluid lines may be cloged and that they have a line within a line. One to the brake and one to return the fluid. Is this true and what would the cost be to replace the lines?

    My town car will be ticketed for non op on street, if I can't solve this brake locking problem soon. Now the battery is dead; been sitting since May,2010

    the brakes lock because you need a new rubber brake line because it collaspes at times, believe me even if it do not leak it need replacing
