Ok getting a little annoyed...

[miltown e30]

Ok so every once in awhile, my brakes squeak while I'm just driving along (no brake pedal pressure) as if the pad is rubbing. Ive had the caliper apart twice now but to avail. Now sometimes at a light or intersection, the brake grabs enough as to not let the car roll back or forward, on a slight incline, again with no foot on the brake. I've rebuilt it once and cleaned and greased the carriers as well. I'm thinking now that the ebrake is grabbing. If anyone has any insight that'd be awesome.

Thanks Much

Collapsed lines? what do you mean by "had the caliper apart"?

I had it completely taken apart because I thought the piston was not retracting into the cylinder all the way, so I thought the pads were rubbing. The caliper was in good shaped, I cleaned it and replaced seals, the second time I cleaned and greased the carriers as there was a ton of shit built up there. If the line is collapsed will I be losing any fluid, or not really.

Thanks

Collapsed line implies the line is crushed but still sealed. Check the lines for that caliper.

Since the caliper has been rebuilt, the likely cause of this shifts to a bad soft brake line or a bad ABS unit. Replace all of the soft lines, and if not done already rebuild the other calipers. If the problem persists replace the ABS unit.
