A worn or sticking caliper can show up as the vehicle pulling to one side when you brake, a brake that seems to drag, or fluid seeping around the caliper. Before you replace the caliper, rule out a collapsed brake hose, worn pads or a damaged rotor, since any of those can pull a vehicle to one side or leave a brake dragging too.
