physically i did a brake strip down and freed all the slides,when checking found this caliper very hard to retract-that was after it gave me issues-thought i would do the lot -found a few slides stuck-one of the front caliper pistons was a little harder to retract but freed off nicely,and i coated the piston with red brake grease
signs out on the road were the heat on the rear disc plus it leaves a visible pattern on the disc where its catching -this will be the vibration -its the only car i have ever had that a sticky caliper causes vibes-most others just smoke,sometimes boil fluid,some almost bring you to a halt-on the rangie you would have thought all the wheels were gonna fall off
if you are not overly fussy about what makes of disc/pads/calipers you use the whole rear could be replaced for around £150 for discs/calipers/pads-not expensive by any cars standards
