right front brake grabs

Steve-Maine · July 23, 2018

On my 06 2500HD when I put the brakes on the front right brake grabs. What makes this happen ? Thanks

The disc pads are Not sliding in the clips, or the whole caliper isnt sliding on the bolts it supposed to. Probably wore the inside pad and the rotor could be worn and rusty.

When I do the disc brakes I grind the "tabs" on the ends of the pads so they slide much better in the clips on the caliper holders. Good luck @!

There are two moving parts. The caliper pins, and the caliper pucks. If either of those items are binding, you will have brake drag. The other possibility, is that your rubber brake hose has internal damage.

Its possible that you have other issues, but I doubt it.

Still don't know what is wrong, could be rubber hoses

I had that problem with my 92, rubber brake line change fixed the problem.

The hose failing is fairly common. Rather than leaking fluid, they restrict fluid flow. When you press the brake peddle, fluid is forced past the hose "clog", under about 2,000 PSI of pressure. When you let up on the peddle, the fluid doesn't flow back past the clog because its not under much pressure at all. That locks the caliper puck in place, causing brake drag.
