    325 passenger front wheel locking up

    I was leaving my school to get lunch an hour or so ago and when I got to the stop light my front right wheel just locked up as soon as I touched the brakes. It's a violent vibration kinda jerks the car. But as soon as I put the car in park and then drive again it drives completely normal until I try to use the brake again I decided to get it home engine braking and using the e brake. Any ideas why it's doing this? I had the front calipers off (still connected to line and placed on block so they weren't hanging, also applied antisieze to back of pads and a smidge to the pins)a few months ago when I did the springs and strut inserts and up until now they have functioned perfect. any help or advice would be greatly appreciated I'm about to take the wheel off and look for a culprit. Hopefully have this fixed by tonight I have work tomorrow
