Brake Problem.

[Fritz Leithauser]

I have a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer, and have a problem with the drivers side brake locking up. I have replaced:the wheel hub assy, the caliper, the rotor, the brake pad, and the flex portion of the brake line. It worked fine for about a week, but once in a while it still locks up. How I know that it locks up is that the wheel gets hot and the brake pads smell. I would like to know if any of the members have a answer to what the problem is? Thanks for your imformation

Welcome to this forum! Maybe it's related to the ABS system false triggering? Did you clean the front sensors?

What do you mean by clean the front sensors? Do you mean the connection of the front wheel hub assy's
Thanks

Clean the front ABS sensors with brake cleaner spray.

Are the guides that the caliper floats on frozen?
