Good morning! I have an 86 vette that locks up the right front wheel under hard braking conditions. I have replaced the rotor and caliper, but it's still an issue. Is this normal? I had an 87 that didn't do this...

Thanks - and have a great weekend! :)
 
Brakes?

First question: Is it the original brake fluid?
If Yes, replace entire fluid with new and evacuate any air you might have in the system, starting at the right rear, left rear, right front then left front.
If no and more than two years old, refer to Yes.
If no and less than two years old, I would just bleed the brakes all the way around, and that whould do the job.
In doing it, ensure that you have the proper lube on the brake pads, and inspect that you have no leaks in the calipers.
