My sons 06 gt is having an issue with the rear brakes intermittently hanging up ,thought it was rear calipers so we put on new calipers and brackets with slides , will be fine for a few days then they will start to hang up and have to crack the bleeders to get them freed up and go again , Any ideas ???

Does he use the e brake? It could be the proportioning valve or even the cup seals in the master cylinder. The master cylinder is a known fault in these cars.

Car is an auto so doesn't use the e brake , Checked that also and cables release all the way , Car was hit in front and we fixed it , could the abs be bad ? seems to happen gradually after a day or so , Don't want to put new rotors on it yet till we get it figured out

Its got to be the proportioning valve. I dont see both the rear lines collapsing and trapping fluid.

Maybe my terminology isnt right. Isnt there something that distributes brake fluid front to rear?
