Hello everyone,
Recently my front right brakes were sticking and you all helped me to discover that it was likely caused by deteriorated flex lines. Upon inspecting the flex lines I found the connections to be rusty/corroded so I took the car to a shop. That way if the hard lines broke, they could fix it as I do not have the time, tools or expertise right now to replace the hard brake lines. When the shop got a hold of it they said the could do the fronts no problem but replacing rears/middle flex lines would definitely result in breaking the hard lines. Their quote was way more than I could afford so I told them "just replace the flex lines going to the front calipers" because that's where I was having problems.

While doing this they discovered that I had installed the front calipers backwards (put them on the wrong sides of the car). So they corrected that, replaced the flex lines and sent me on my way.

Now I notice that the front Left brakes are sticking. (I can feel heat in the wheel well and smell them while parked.) There is also a lot of brake dust on the wheel. To be honest, the brake dust was present on the left front before I had the flex lines replaced but perhaps I didn't notice them sticking because the right side was very very bad.

Either way I am out of ideas. The steel flex lines (and now calipers) were professionally installed. Front calipers, pads and rotors all have less than 5000 miles on them and were installed in the summer of 2017. Why the F do the front left brakes seem to be sticking!?

 

I may have figured it out. Since the calipers were swapped, it may likely be the caliper, now that I'm having the same issue on the opposite side
