2000 Suzuki Esteem

I have a 2000 susuki esteem, as of last week my right front brake was locking up on me on the freeway going to work. got the car home and someone told me the caliper piston may have froze up. the calipers have never been replaced. I replaced the caliper this morning, bled the brakes and took the car out for some laps around my neighborhood. after about a couple of miles my right front brake stated locking up on me again. it's obviously not the caliper what could the problem be. thanks jeff

Check the brake hose on that side could be collasped internally acting like a check valve
