Hey guys, just put both new front calipers on my 89 Firebird Formula as the driver side was pulling and the passenger was "locking up". Even after I replaced these, it is still continuing to do this as if I replaced nothing any ideas on what could be causing this? Passenger side only locks up temporarily, and then releases after a while, and the driver side is still pulling like hell. Maybe lines are shot? any input is appreciated. Thanks

I suppose that could definitely happen. Thanks for the quick reply! id be replacing just from the housing to the metal line correct?
