Brakes sticking?

Arsrmk · 10-26-2005, 06:14 PM

I have been having problems with my brakes sticking on my 92 4Runner. When this happens the brake pedal gets very hard. It seams to happen randomly and go away randomly. I just replaced both calipers because both my old ones had a piston that was frozen, I thought that might fix it but didn't. I know it is the fronts because my wheels/hubs get very hot after driving like this. Could this be my master cylinder? Not really sure what else would cause this, but my pedal always seems to returns to its normal position.
Any ideas what the cause could be? I would like to get this figured out, the 3.slow becomes really slow when the brakes are dragging. And my new pads won't last long at this rate. Any help would be great.

Rubber brake lines to calipers maybe

Did you bleed the brakes?

And yes the master cylinder is the first thing I would suspect. It may be time for a new MS for sure.

Yeah the brakes have been bled and that didn't change anything. I might have to get a new master cylinder and try that. Thanks for the input.
