Brakes locking in Altis

Postby Tisha » January 3rd, 2012, 6:45 pm

guys i need some help, the brakes in my car keeps locking/binding (right front and back left) and the mechanics, changed master cylinder, service calliper and abs diagnostic test and everything was ok with that, but the car is still stalling and then it would lock up, what could be causing this cause they don't seem to know any more what to do.

how do you know its binding? you smelling the brake fluid? it not stopping? or is it just stalling? you could be mistaking the engine stalling for brakes binding

@ All Trac, the wheel would smoke coming out from the rims! and it would smell of brake fluid,

change your mechanic.
it could be a partially clogged brake line, bent caliper bolt, damaged piston etc etc
