My bet is the caliper for that side that is locking up.  Had the same thing on a PU years ago.

I would bet on that. Had the same issue with mine on right side. It was an easy fix. The problem is the Caliper is not sliding. Take apart give it a good wire brushing and lubricate. Its as simple as that. Wish I had done it before I completely screwed the rotors. Many iron filings.

Just to finish this topic up, the issue seems to have been the length of the rod between the hydroboost and master cylinder. I made up a 1/16" spacer to put between them, and the problem is gone.

In the beginning, it seemed like only the right front wheel was grabbing, because it was the hottest, but that was not the case. Apparently, all the brakes were applying, just the right front one wanted to throw me off the trail.

Thanks for all the help everyone!


Now, back to the other 250,000 problems.  ;)
