    Hello, I put new rotors on my truck a couple weeks ago, and now the left front locks up but only sometime, when this happen brake pedal is harder to push and it don't move to the floor as much and then you will hear a pop and the pedal is good and stops fine.... then it may be great the rest of the day or it may happen again.... Truck is a 2002 Toyota Pre Runner V-6, I'm thinking the caliber needs replace anyone else have this happen.

    caliper piston seizing up would be my first guess.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Make sure all the pins are ok before you buy a caliper you may not need.
