I replaced the rear brake pads on my truck.

I drove the truck around town for a week and everything was good.

I drove the truck on the highway and noticed there was brake drag.

I stopped the truck and looked at the rear brakes and everything was OK, they were not heating up. I scratched my head, but got back n the truck. After about 10 miles I got to where I was going and noticed that it was the front bakes Both of them which were sticking and very hot.

Why would changing the rear brakes affect the front brakes ?

By the way, After the Brakes cooled down, I drove the car back home, about 15 miles on the highway, and there were no more problems.
I was surprised that the rotors did not warp.

 

May have been a fluke. Doing the rears shouldn't affect the fronts. When is the last time the fronts were done?

 

Thanks for your reply. Front brakes were done about 10,000 miles ago. They are still in good shape.
BTW the truck s a 2012 Ram 1500
