Anyway, while removing the front passenger side wheel when it was on the lift we found the sticking caliper – it was difficult to rotate and that wheel was much hotter than the others. So I'm glad I figured out what the cause was, it was driving me crazy. I'm going to try to rebuild the caliper first, if that doesn't work then I'll just find a used one I guess.

I also replaced (DIY) the wishbone control arms/ball joints today – the suspension feels much better and it helped lessen the vibration (from the brake).

my next project......
