Breaks

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Two calipers and still locking up is a strong sign the caliper itself was maybe not the only problem. The fact that bleeding the brakes gives you a day of relief is a really telling clue. That leads me to believe it may be the brake flex hose on that side. Over time the inner lining of the hose can deteriorate and collapse internally, acting like a one way valve that lets pressure in but won't let it release. The caliper stays pressurized and locks up the brake. It's a cheap and easy fix that gets overlooked constantly. Check that brake hose on the right front and you'll likely solve a problem that you've been chasing for over a year!
