Front right brake locks up

When driving and braking after about 15 minutes the car slows down and only the right tire locks up the car won't move in drive and the brakes are hard to push down. But once we bleed the brakes on that side it unlocks and it's good to go. Already replaced master cylinder, brake booster, brake fluid reservoir, pads and rotors, caliper on right side and brake line. Have no idea what to try next

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi there!

Does yours have ABS (Anti-lock braking system)? If so it could be that there is something really wrong with either the ABS system control. So try disabling/unplugging the power for it.

Let me know if this helps or you don’t have ABS.

Abs module and abs sensor, these are you next possible culprits. I'll take apart a module and post pictures for you, the sensors will need to be replaced. If you disconnect the abs module it will brake harder on one side more, typically the right hand side, your vehicle will most likely pull right when you brake hard. This will heat up your brake fluid quicker and reduce the life on your master cylinder and booster pump, also unevenly wear your brakes. But yes pulling the wiring harness out of the abs module will disable the abs to see if it is the problem.
