Hey, For a while now my passenger side rear caliper has been locking up under hard braking, no leaks anywhere and it bled fluid out both sides fine. I rang up for rebuild kits and they were all $120-95 a side! so last time I was in the wreckers I got a caliper for the side that wasn't locking, still the same problem! today I re-greased the 2 outer caliper bolts but its still doing it, any ideas?

Anyway the passenger side rear caliper is working TOO well?

thanks.

Thats probably what it is, how do you tell if you have a faulty proportioning valve, everyone says they rarely break.
