Dragging Brakes
Also ;
When the master cylinder is replaced the push rod adjustment is often overlooked .
If it has even slight pressure with your foot off the brakes it will build pressure until the car finally grinds to a halt .
Easy to diagnose : when the brake are dragging open a bleeder valve on each axle ~ of brake fluid spurts out and the brakes release, check the M/C push rod before anything else .
