Default right front brake sticking after pad/rotor change

My right front brakes are sticking after I just changed my pads and rotor.

When I took off the old pads I noticed that the top and front of the inner pad was worn more and the back bottom of the outter pad was worn more indicating that something must not be level.

Has anyone seen this on their monte and have any ideas what it might be?

Thanks a ton! I'm stuck with no car until I figure this out!

Sounds like the right side caliper is going bad. You may want to rebuild both front calipers, since you install new pads. Did you get your rotors turned by any chance? If not, it'd be a good time to do that as well if they look/are/feel worn.

Caliper piston OR slider is sticking. Get a rebuilt caliper. They are cheap. Slap it in there problem solved.

caliper its best to replace both at the same time if you dont and just replace one it becomes a safty problem. as inspring a leak in the left one or not work all together on the bright side you can get the ones that say corvett on the side but it higher prised than the stock ones try to find a upgrade ones and go from there you will be happy if you chose a upgrade or the stock ones

can i get a direct site to rebuilt cailpers or suggestions to upgraded ones? Ive been skimin through pages all this mornin n yet to figure out the best buy for upgraded calipers, my driver side currently sticks, so therefore i plan on either upgrading or just buying some new stocks. I do have 22's so i would definately like some more stiffness on my brake pressure...so can someone let me kno what the best way to go...n i guess i can add some style factor as the big wheels reveal the whole brake assembly

W Body Store GXP upgrade

The stainless steel brake lines will improve pedal feel.
