why do my brakes keep seizing up?
recenty, while driving my esteem, the brakes got hot and started smoking. the brakes were seized up so badly on the front wheels, that it could barely move. after letting it sit for a while, i heard a 'caching' noise, and they freed up enough to drive it approx. 5 miles before they started heating up again. after replacing pads, rotors, and calipers on both tires, (yes they were bled properly), the same thing happened. upon suggestion from a mechanic, i replaced the soft lines incase they had collapsed on the inside. still the same problem. today i replaced the master cylinder and took it for a drive. same thing…after about 4 miles, they started heating up again. i have no idea what could be causing this to happen.
