Ok lately, every now and then when Im driving and press the brakes my front passenger brake locks up. I was talking to my uncle and he said that its the caliper that is locking up most likely. This really only happens with city driving, with the constant stop and go. Never happens on the highway for the most part. Happens more so with heavy braking. It locks up and I have to drive a bit before it gets better and loosens up. It was only doing it once and awhile, but now its quite frequent. Has anyone ever experienced this? Do I need to change the caliper or is it something else? Also how do I know what it is? For example, if you say caliper, how do I determine thats the cause?


Also is the passenger side considered the right side?

 

Check your flexible brake lines also. If they collapse after braking, brake fluid can't return to master cylinder, keeping brakes applied.

Yes passenger side is right side.
