Do you know that it sticks? Or are you deducing this from the
uneven wear? Does that wheel drag more when you spin it with the
front jacked up?
Could there be residual pressure in the hydraulics because of
another problem? Due to road camber or wheel alignment, this
just might show itself as wear at the kerb-side disc.
What about excessive play in the RH front wheel bearing.

If the wheel/hub gets hot it's rubbing. Something is sticking, either
piston or sliding pins.
If the wheel/hub doesn't get hot it's wearing under application. That
implies a cracked rotor.

Japan's largest and second largest automakers are worlds apart. Last year, Nissan made less than half of the cars the world's number one, Toyota produced. Looking at the February results of both, we see a Goliath that is slowing down and a David that is revving up mightily. What's more, we see a Goliath that [...]
