2003 TJ Sahara w/42RLE
About 6 months ago my passenger side front brake caliper stuck but I noticed it was pulling before it got really hot. I ended up replacing both front calipers and pads with all new parts. I completely flushed the brake fluid at the time and then again about a month later due to doing stuff w/the back brakes. I believe in clean brake fluid
Well, yesterday I took the jeep out and the same caliper(position) stuck/seized again. I'll replace it but can anyone think of anything beyond coincidence that would have the same position caliper seize after just a few months? I know that doesn't make sense...the brakes have been perfect till this happened. It does ease up a bit but still drags.
Also, I remember chosing the replacement calipers with plastic pistons thinking they might be less likely to have issues because this jeep is just a weekend toy and sits in the barn a lot. I didn't base that on hard data...who knows.
