Here's the background:
Left side front caliper was always hanging up. Replaced it and right side caliper with rebuilt ones, along with new rotors, pads, and flushed brake fluid.
Left side good now, immediately the right side started hanging up. Replaced that caliper with another rebuilt one, along with new flexible brake line hoses on both sides.
The fronts do not seem to be hanging anymore (I constantly feel the wheels after driving and they're not hot like before, just slightly warm as I assume they should be). However, I'm still having this feeling as if the car is being held back, dragging extra weight along. In fact, around 65+ mph, the front end vibrates (like it used to when the fronts were hanging, though not as severe), and when I press on the brake pedal, it feels like one of the calipers (front or rear?) is hanging again, though the fronts do have a smooth-acting feeling to them.
Can one of the rears be hanging now as well? Those pads are fairly new (within a year old), and looking at them they have a lot of life left. The rear rotors are not scored or gouged.
What would it feel like if one of the rear calipers was hanging? Would I get that "car being held back" feeling? Would I feel the front end/steering wheel vibrate? Would the rear wheels feel hot if this was happening (they actually felt warmer than normal yesterday after a bad case of this situation)?
