Brakes problem
1995 Toyota Camry 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi, the front pass. Side calliper locks up while driving and not touching the brake. I pull over and eventually it releases and I can drive again. Sometimes it will drive without any problems but, does seem to be getting worse. We have put in new callipers, rotors and pads all the way around. We have also put in a new ABS actuator, a new wheel sensor on front pass. Side and new wheel axels in front both sides. We have also tried to disconnect the ABS actuator and unplug the ABS fuse and it still does it. My husband just read in the book that when a car has a paint job it can ruin the ABS controller because of them heating it up. This car did just recently have a paint job. Also, the ABS codes are reading normal. We are at a loss, any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

Signs of a bad disc brake caliper include:
* When your disc brake caliper is worn you will often hear a squeaky or squealing sound that should not be ignored. In addition, your brake pads will often vibrate when you are trying to stop your vehicle.
* Difficulty pushing the brake pedal is a frequent sign that the disc brake caliper is out of alignment.
* Drivers may experience the vehicle pulling to one side while braking.
* Excessive heat or smoke coming from the wheel area.
