That looks like a 195RB Baja - if so we have the same year and model. One of the problems we ran into early on with it was sticky brakes which caused similar situation to what you are describing.

I wire brushed all those areas clean and now use CRC Brake and Caliper Grease on all those touch points every year when I re-pack the wheel bearings.
