    Hey there, I've tried figuring this out for months with little improvement, looking for suggestions.

    So the front brakes drag, more or less evenly on each side. Here's what I've replaced in the past 6 months:
    Brake master cylinder,
    Both Calipers,
    Both brake hoses,
    Both brake pads.
    The rotors are probably warped but I figure it's not worth replacing if they're gonna cook and warp again.
    Some days it drives smooth, other days I can barely hit 65mph with a shaking steering wheel. Sometimes it stops completely while rolling in neutral.
    PLEASE any and all ideas would be appreciated!!

    If you replaced all of that and they are still dragging SOMETIMES.

    I would look into the front wheel bearings being an issue. Someone else here had issues with his brakes and it ended up being a completely worn out wheel bearing.

    Did you adjust the master cylinder to match the vacuum booster? This will cause drag if not done correctly.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I did replace the front left wheel bearing after it fell apart. I'll see if the right side is doing the same

    I had the master cylinder done for me. Very well could be the problem as I know the previous owner also replaced the MC
