HELP!!! Best test for stuck caliper?

[Batm4n]

I had the axle replaced instead of just replacing the boot.
Extended warranty covered the entire job except for my $50 deductible.

I don't think they take off the rotor when they swap the axle, they just slip the caliper off and so they can drop the spindle. So the only thing that could have been torqued out of speck was the caliper bolts

Then I would guess the shudder was from bad CV joint. But glad you got it fixed for just $50. If you're paying it out of your pocket, it's probably $1K something. Did the warranty also cover the alignment? I assumed they also performed an alignment after the axle replaced, right?

Didn't see anything about an alignment in the work order.
Car tracks perfectly straight
