What are the chances the ABS Hydraulic Unit is at fault here?
I've installed new rotors, calipers, pads, master cylinder and vacuum booster. The rear right brake (and possibly left as well) is sticking closed on occasion. The rear calipers were originally replaced because they were seized open. After replacement, the rear right was chattering when brake wasn't applied. I replaced the pads and the chattering stopped, but I can still feel the brake applied once in a while. (The pads that came off were pretty singed.) The engine strains to overcome it, until it finally lets loose.
Could a section in the hydraulic unit be causing this? Since the rear calipers were frozen for so long (years), it may have allowed corrosion in that segment of the unit. I'll probably just throw another caliper at it, since it's under warranty anyway, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else has faced this problem first.
Thanks.
