Brakes locking up
Arrrggghhh!!! Recently got my car back and it just developed a new problem where the brakes are locking up after a bit of driving. I know it's the brakes since the car drives with significant resistance, and there is a strong smell of brakepads.
This morning, with the car cold, I jacked up all wheels independently and was able to rotate them freely by hand. Then I went out for a 2-mile round trip and did the tested again. Every wheel is locked tightly enough where I cannot rotate them by hand, and cannot push the car in the driveway.
Now, since it's all 4 wheels, I have to assume that the problem is either related to either the vaccum/booster system, or the fluid/master-cylinder system.
Any idea how to test and narrow this down from here?
Thanks,
-Neil.
