Default Brakes not Releasing & CV Noise

I put new rotors and pads on and have bled the brakes several times but still have this freakin problem. Its fine for a while after i bled them but after driving around the brakes build up pressure and wont release, the brake pedal is firm and makes the brakes almost lock up. Any ideas on what to do. Also after doing my b18c1 swap i have a wierd noise i think is coming from my CV. Ive never had one go out so i dont know what is wrong with it. It is making the front wheel shake when over 15mph or so. It might not even be the CV but that is my guess. Any help or sugjestions would help me out a lot.

it may be your innertie rod or balljoint that makes your wheel shake.

Sounds like valve problems. Check your proportioning valve and tell us if it's just the fronts/rears that are locking like you described. That'll help us help you .

not getting what u are trying to say. how can we check to see if its the front brakes or rear by the proportioning valve. btw it is the front brake that are locking up or atleast those are the only brakes i noticed clamped tight.

did u do a brake upgrade.. sounds like ur outter tierod is jacked for the shaking.. as for ur brakes could be ur calipers are siezed.. take the wheel off and spin the rotor by the wheel studs.. and if u can rememmber if u had uneaven wear on the pads on the front brakes..

check all the bolts at the calipers mounts, axles nuts, lca castle nuts. then try to bleed all brakes again. 1. right rear, 2. left front, 3. left rear, 4. right front.
