A rear caliper that sticks or leaks can show up as the car pulling to one side, uneven pad wear or fluid wetness at the wheel, but a binding slide or a collapsed hose can pull a car the same way. Find the cause before replacing the caliper; a shop can check the slides, pins and hoses for binding or restriction. Rear calipers are normally replaced as a pair, and this listing is one caliper.
