Grand Voyager '96 - The right front brake caliper keeps locking up

Hello everyone,

recently I have replaced most of the parts under the brake system, the master brake cylinder, calipers, pads, everything but the rubber brake lines.
It was a big difference until today when the same old problem reoccured. Namely, the right front brake caliper keeps locking up, especially after the frequent stops. I do not have to say it creates lots of smoke during the warm days :-)
Initially I thought, there might be an issue with the ABS system, but after an ABS system inspection I was told nothing's wrong with it.
I have seen numerous posts on the same issue but there is no clear definition on what may be causing such problem. Some people told me this problem might be related to a faulty brake hose, is this possible?
Any info would be highly appreciated.

Best regards.

Sounds to me like the right brake hose is colapsed internally thus not letting the caliper piston to release. I would try a new hose.

Thank you all once again.
It's been two days since I replaced the right front brake hose and no issues so far.

Regards.
