Brake Problems !!!
I am having a problem with a brake dragging on my 87 base model. The problem occurs when I am driving at highway speeds. I notice a decrease in accelleration and the brake pedal becomes rock hard. I have not been able to determine which brake or brakes are dragging as it goes away before I can get it home.
Does this sound more like a caliper or could it be the master cylinder. Any Ideas ?

I thought it might be a sticking caliper but it doesn't seem to stick when using the brakes and the car doesn't pull to either side. Does this make any sense ?

I finally determined today that both front brakes are locking up. I think that it must be either the master cylinder or the valve connected to it. I assume this is a proportioning valve. I still don't understand how they can just lockup driving down the road when the brake pedal has not been touched.
