All;
If I'm not mistaken a car pulling to one side (e.g. the right) means the
problem most often is to be found on the opposite side (the left). If this
is true why would there be plenty of pad on the right and very little on the
left or is it the piston froze while in contact wirth the rotor. Hey, did I
just answer my own question?
Still learning.

Steve,
Sounds like a piston is frozen. Probably needs to be replaced as they rust
easily. Replace the calipers in pairs do one side completely. Probably the
other side is going to do it soon also. I suggest you have them resleeved
as opposed to buying new ones. BTDT.
Mike
