Default Brake Problums

i need help.....ive got a 99 mustang 3.8 and the front brake calipers seem to be sticking........wherever i go my front brakes are on. The weird thing is that both of them are sticking and not just one. If it was just one i would replace the calipers but since it is both of them im not sure it is a problum with the calipers. Is there something else wrong or should i just by new front brake calipers? Any advice would be useful thanks.

i'd replace both of the calipers i had the same problem with the rears on the anchor bracket the boots where all corroded and ended up making my calipers freeze. so yeah your calipers are probably on their way out.

I would have a shop check it out just incase. You dont want to go out and waste money you didnt need too.
