RR brake caliper sticking?
I replaced the LH RR brake caliper over the weekend and because it was sticking. Now the RH caliper is sticking. Anyone run into this problem?

Maybe the RH was sticking all along but less than the LH. Usually when you replace anything that deals with brakes, you always do it to both sides. My suggestion is replace the caliper.

I had the same issue on the right rear as well.
Determined that it was a fluid issue and boiling in that corner caused the pressure to increase holding it tight to the rotor. Hotter it got, the tighter it got.
I had to change pads, but the sliders and rails still moved freely (lubed). Changed the fluid and no more problems.
