For some reason my front breaks are always catching, i can hear them putting pressure on the rotors when i am rolling it to move it. What would cause this? Is this a common thing?? How can i fix it?

Warped Rotors

The factory pads are not really that good and can cuase Warped Roors with alot of hard braking.

in otherwords your Rotors/Brake Disc are not flat or straight anymore and the brake pads keeps rubbing on the rotors as the rotors move between the brake pads.

there will always be some kind of dragging. Put it up on a stand and spin the wheel it should spin freely. if it does they are OK.
