just to point out i gave him some info on how to go farther and check to see if it's a brake or suspension problem

"jack the front up have a friend press the brake lightly, try to spin wheels both, wont spin? good. one spins other doesn't? seized caliper. let the brake off, both spin with a lil friction? good one still stiff or won't spin? sticky caliper. if brakes check out fine then suspension like petrock said but then you have to go to a shop and pay a diagnostic fee, usually they remove the fee if they fix it too. alignments are running about $80 now i think."

I'm not saying your wrong, I actually agree with you, probably a caliper that's grabbing here and there, I bet it's an intermittent problem.

i would however like to know why it's always the right front that seems to be problems on cars. my uncles van locked up right front, only caliper problems I've had, right front. my moms truck, right front. friends TA, right front.... anyone got any ideas why?
