Thought I'd put this here instead of Facebook where uninformed newbies might chime in.
A few months ago, I drove my truck 30+ miles and the right front wheel starting "sticking." And by that I mean I would be at a light, lift my foot off the brake, and the car wouldn't move until i pressed the gas...after clunk in the front right.
After some internet research, it has all the signs of a caliper piston sticking on the rotor. Finally had a chance to have my mechanic look at it the other day and he says the piston is not sticking...the brake is functioning normally...and that on a test drive, it did not fail in any way.
So, question is...what else could it be (front diff?) and why did it only occur after a long drive? I've taken a few short trips in past few days and it does not stick.
thanks
