front left brake caliper dragging
Help! Just replaced ball joints on both sides of my '96 F-350 dually 2wd. While I was in there also replaced brake pads. The left caliper is dragging badly. Any suggestions or remedies? Thanks

Could also be the pistons had rust on it before you compressed it and now it is not releasing all the way.Could also be the sliders are jammed. I doubt the hose unless you hung the caliper by the hose and kinked it

u would think that but u dont have to hang it by the hose or kink the hose
that was the problem with my truck and i never hang them or kink the hose
they are just old and cheap... so just throw a new hose and caliper on and be done :P
