sticking brakes?

My brakesvstarted sticking after a new brake job. I think my calipers are sticking but theyonly stick on the expressway. I removed the calipers and they looked ok. Has this happened to anyone else?

I did not now that you mention it, would it cause this issue to happen? When the car starts to break it doe not pull which makes me believe that perhaps all four brakes are getting applied. If it were just one caliper wouldnt it pull violently? I mean maybe it pulls a hair to the left but It could be the allignment

yes that will cause your issue. ALWAYS lube the brakes when you change them.
