I recently had the right front brake start to hang up and smoke due to it getting hot. So I assumed it had a bad caliper and I changed it along with the pads. It still seems to be hanging up after I drive it for a little distance. It gets hot and starts to smoke again. If the car is allowed to sit for a short time, it seems to unhang. But after a little more driving it starts again.
