Piston in caliper not releasing fully?

your caliper is not moving freely on the 2 steel bars that ran perpendicular to the wheel. IF you have a single piston caliper the outside pad is drawn onto the rotor once the inside pad pushes against the inside of the rotor.

Your Sliders are seized. If you can get them free, clean them up and use some caliper grease or anti seize on them. My Ex girlfriend had a 99 and they where so bad, I need to buy a whole new caliper.

Exactly. Also make sure that the rubber boots still seal around the slider, if they are torn or anything, buy new ones. If not it will all happen again when they get water on them.
