The right rear caliper is not operating properly and appears to be stuck ie disk is not shiney like the others. Otherwise the brakes seem fine Please describe a fix. Thanks

Tap the sticky caliper with a mallet, if it doesn't start functioning correctly a caliper re-build may be in order. If the car has been idle

for a bit, that could explain the issue.

If the tapping doesn't do it, check the brake line from the caliper back for kinks or pinches.

You might try bleeding the brakes to see if fluid comes out. Maybe even release some trapped air.

I've never had one freeze open. My 914 has had several rear brakes require rebuilds, but the symptom was failure to release.

And it is easier to diagnose when the pads clamp down and heat up the rotor and wheel.

Thanks ,because this is a new car to me as 3rd owner Im discovering some issues. The brake seems much better now that I degreased the rotor.

When I set the tire pressures according to the manual the steering wheel seems off center ever slightly
