Re: i need brakes help
Do you have slide pins in the calipers?

Thats probably a no then... I was having a similar problem with my sentras rear brakes. I replaced the slide pins and the problem was solved.

Re: i need brakes help
doubt this is the case in any way but have you checked your parking brake cables or tried it without the parking brake cable hooked up? i didnt read through everything so not sure if its been addressed already. but just a thought

Re: i need brakes help
Did he ever recheck his wheel bearings. Just because they are not loose when you are parked doesnt mean they dont move when there is pressure from driving. Also had a guy who had an eclipse on base and went to redo his brakes and rotors. New ones we ordered were the wrong size because someone had changed out the calipers from the base model to the gt model. Maybe someone tried upgrading your brakes from a different model and now they are too big and are locking up.

Re: i need brakes help
why would the parking brake affect the front brakes? you should read things first
