A sticking or leaking caliper can show up as the car pulling to one side under braking, brake fluid around the caliper or uneven pad wear. A collapsed brake hose or a binding slide pin can pull the car the same way, so during the brake service, look the pins and hoses over with the engine off and cool before you replace the caliper. This listing is one caliper for the front left wheel; the front right is a separate caliper ordered on its own, and the two are normally replaced together.
