Front left brake always grabs too hard when applying brakes. I changed the caliper out, bled the line, installed new pads, all to no avail. Still grabbing. HELP!

Oil, grease or brake fluid on the linings will cause them to grab. The cure is to identify and eliminate the source of contamination, then replace the linings. Badly scored drums or rotors can also grab. Resurfacing may be needed.
