Front Brake Calipers Freezing up on me

[mitaylor137]

Im haveing a problem with the driverside front caliper not working as hard, i think as my passenger side. When i hit the brakes, it pulls to the right really hard. What are my options here?

Assuming that it is your calipers and not a pinched brake line your only real options are you either rebuild them yourself or buy a new pair.

Brake Calipers Seizing

Replaced my front 4 piston calipers once at 60K miles, now the rebuilt passenger side seems to be seized (pulling to the left). Does anyone know if the basic design is flawed?

Take it back and get a replacement, you'll run into this a lot with rebuilt calipers. If your calipers are out of warranty try shopping around and getting a better quality pair, most of the big chain places have awful quality rebuilds.
