Been doing this since new (intermittent) and is most probably due to infrequent use. When it locks up, obviously pulls hard right, brake is smoking - to get to release, you gotta pour water on it or let it burn - and boy, does it make steam, enough to do a lobster.
Yep, and in time, there's gonna be cracks in the disc, leading to replacement.
My theory is the phenolic pistons get out of round and then stick/seize with brake use. The ones on my truck have been replaced twice before.
Any you guys had this problem ??
Wonder if there are any steel or even aluminum pistons in a caliper that would solve this ?
