Well i didnt know where to put this since its not a contour but i am having a problem with my front brakes on my 95 beretta Z26(183k).Rust is minimal, car and underbody are great condition

My passenger side caliper always seemed to stick a little it would pull to the right. Some times u would get that smell of brake pads b/c they would get hot and whenevr u hit teh brakes hard the car would seem to shimmy to the right and straighten out.
Well the other day it had gotten worse, to the point the car was kinda dragging, needed more power to move. Started smelling the brakes really bad. I drove it today and not one problem, even messed around with it a bit, still nothing.It seems to happen on warmer days and on somewhat long travels.

My question is it the caliper sticking? Brake line collapsed, or somthing else? I just dont understand y it would do it one day and not the other.

I appreciate the help and opinions

thanks

my front passenger side caliper got stuck on my exploder once. Unfortunately I was in PA at the time, and y by the time I got home the brake pad was destroyed...fixing only required disassembly of the caliper and lubricating of all the moving parts.
