today I went out for a cruise, and while I was backin out of my driveway and apply the brakes the front passenger wheel just starts to lock up. once its locked up the wheel wont move so I have to go into first and move in my drive way than move back out again. my brother thinks its the passenger axle. anyone had this problem before?

thanks

if you are driving a 240sx, i dont think the front has a axle so it could be a wheel bearing that is really really bad or a bad front caliper

i think ur front caliper is siezed or siezing, its a common prob. on 240’s.  
check the fs forum, they’re relatively cheap used
