It's locking up at low speeds such as coming to a stop sign. There is also a squeaking noise from the same area that goes away when the brakes are applied.

A month ago I replaced the rear shoes and drums. Also replaced the front rotors and pads at the same time. I lubed all the pins and adjusters very well. I have had 1 ton chevy wheel cylinders for a couple of years already.

Sounds to me like the right front is hanging up while driving maybe?

Could be a bad brake hose or bad caliper.

Might be the caliper.....I put a new/rebuilt one on that side about 1 1/2 years ago cause the bleeder was rusted in and broke off.

Anyway to diagnose a hose problem?

Sometimes the hose will have a puffy looking spot on the outside.
What happens is the plys separate inside the hose and a flap hangs down making a one way valve that doesn't let the fluid bleed back when you let off the brake.

jack up that side and spin the wheel and see if it spins with resistance. break loose the brake hose on that side and see if it changes the drag being felt on the wheel. hope this helps.

Cheap as hoses are, replace them, I personally would do another caliper while I am in there.

Whole lot cheaper than if it ruins your rotor, not to mention much less work.

I'll check all that stuff out.

Should I look into a bad wheel bearing too? Would that cause something like this?

Wheel bearings make noise more so than pulling. Prying the calipers out to replace pads got piston sticking. I recomend replacing both calipers at same time. My luck is two months later the other hangs up.
