Pulling to one side, fluid around the caliper or uneven pad wear can mean a caliper is failing. A sticking slide pin, a restricted brake hose or worn pads can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying. Replace the front calipers as a pair, one on each side of the axle; this listing is the front left, and the front right is a separate part.
