M1009 front brake lock up odyssey

[Sergeant1983]

Vehicle took 3-5 more mph to shift for the last 6 months. Could not figure out why. Then recently developed a slight vibration now and then that came and went out.

So when my front right caliper locked up bigger than Stuttgart, replacement of both calpers and brake pads seem to fix my shifting and vibration.

But then two days later the left one locked up.

So I tried replacing the flex lines to solve the problem, as there was small debris and thought maybe they were deteriorating and debris was causation

But problem contiued on both sides now

Last repair was to replace the master cylinder and flush til bright new purple fluid was comming out of every wheel cylinder

Last reapair attempt appears to have worked...knock on wood

Could have just bin some moisture got in caused some havoc. But also if they were the original calipers and wheel cylinders they really needed to be replaced anyways. Vehicles that have or do, sit for extended periods of time always develop sticking brake components. It happens real bad in Florida with all the salt air.
