Okay,
this only happens once in a while but it's a pain in my arse...
I'll be driving my jeep ON road and I start to feel it pull to the right. What causes the pull is the caliper freezing up on the pass. side. This has happend once when my jeep was stock, and twice since I lifted it and put the 36s on it. The last time it happend was right after offroading, it started pulling, I got to my destination, smelled the brakes, looked under the jeep, and saw flames around my rotor. I blew them out when a friend got an extinguisher. I learned from the last time if I let it cool it will eventually open back up. So I put a garden hose on it for 10 min. and everything was fine.
The first time it happend I had the pads and rotor replaced along with the brake lines. Then when I did my soa i put long brake lines on.
Is there any reason for this to keep happening? I was thinking about just putting on new calipers, rotors and pads on both sides, but if there is an upgrade to compinsate for the large tires that would be better. Any ideas?
