2005 Subaru Forester 2.5x
What do I do next?
Front driver side froze up on me last week (scary as I couldn't move vehicle) and I released it by opening bleeder valve to make wheel free and then I drove it home. Reading about what happened made me replace calipers and flex brake hose. I replaced the following with new parts on BOTH front wheels:
-- new calipers and brake pads
-- new flex brake hoses
-- new brake fluid used when bleeding brakes. no leaks.
Just drove it for a test drive and it froze again on the (same) drivers side after about 20 minutes. Went under car once again (rotor hot again) and released the drivers wheel by (once again) opening and closing the bleeder valve. Once again, the brake fluid shot out and freed the wheel. The rotor was hot of course. I then drove it home.
I let the car sit and cool down and an hour later the wheel somehow wasn't stuck anymore. Why, I don't know.
What do I replace next? I'm lost. I thought I fixed it.
Thanks a million. I'm a bit bummed out right now.
