Brake problems

When I drive over 15-20 mile the pass front and rear brakes heat up. This doesn't happen every time. Some times its just the front and other times its only the rear.

I have bleed the brakes a few time, the caliper pins move freely.
Going to flush the system this weekend.

Anyone have any ideas?

The piston in the caliper might not be releasing the pads. One way to tell is jack up the front right then go in and hit the brakes then go see if the tire spins freely. Just a thought.....

possible obstruction in your brake \ line hose...

just like mndiesel said, jack it up, brake hard, let off see whats not spinning freely.
