Okay, I have kind of a newb question here. I did a search and didn't find an answer. Sometimes not all the time when I hit the brakes hard (but not hard enough that they should lock up) my front drivers side wheel locks up. Only that wheel and always that wheel when it happens. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it happens it really shouldn't. Example, in case it helps. Today I was driving down the road at about 35-40 mph when the car in front of me on the left decided to suddenly hit the brakes and come into my lane. I hit the brakes in order to avoid hitting them and my front driver's side brake (the same one as always) locked up. It was a bit of a panic stop, but there is no reason why my brakes should have locked up especially not just one. I know how hard I can hit the brakes normally without them locking up. My XJ has always normally had really good brakes and it happens irratically so I don't know what causes it. Everything looks good by visual inspection, but I haven't taken anything apart yet. I'm guessing its a caliper issue. Any help would be appreciated since I don't know much about brakes other than how to service them.
TIA
Oh yeah, I don't have antilock brakes.
