Intermittent left brake stick

[Cherokee85]

hi guys, has anyone had issues with left sticking brake? changed everything possible, only started happening after I fitted new discs and pads, had new caliper, flexi hose, seperater, master cylinder, but still sticks sometimes, also was told to unplug the seperaters two pin connector, still does it sometimes, but the thing is that it only does it after some harsh acceleration to overtake and then brake, any ideas guys?

You might remove the caliper and make sure the pins it moves on are lubricated so the caliper will slide easily. If that doesn't do it, then the caliper itself is sticking and will need to be replaced

thats the thing, old caliper was overhauled and then a brand new caliper, also lubed up properly, still does it, its odd, just driven it now and its ok, no sticking, but did it once before then it stopped after switching off for about 10-20mins, its really odd,

Sometimes after a lot of use the brake pad tabs can wear grooves in the knuckles. I'll get a pic of mine in a little bit to show an example.

thanks buddy, :-) the left wheel got really freaking hot! I thrown some water to cool them off and steam everywhere! ha ha

Anytime, but be careful with that. When it gets that hot its best not to drive it, it will lead to tearing up more stuff.

Easy to warp a rotor that way too

I know, drives ok now though, really odd, thanks for your input guys
