u sure it is the front?When u back up and apply the brakes Maz has a self-adjuster that tightens the rear drum brakes.To my knowledge no way to adjust the front discs.R ur pads and rotors ok?BJ

Only thing I can think of would be that in very cold temps the brake fluid would flow slower and when u applied the brakes for the first time in the am the pads would contact the rotors and bind for a moment until the fluid pressure dropped and released them.Might want to completely drain your brake fluid,replace with fresh fluid and bleed your brakes.Dirty fluid wont help.BJ
