Does anybody have any idea what part of the brake system, upstream of the two front wheels, would cause them to drag together? Any insights would be helpful.

Has anyone added brake fluid lately? I'm thinking that your fluid could be contaminated, this would cause the seals to swell up and force fluid into the calipers pushing the pads against the rotors.
Their is also a proportioning valve in the system somewhere that regulates how much force is distrubuted between the front and rear brakes, I have heard of this causing problems on some vehicles.
