    sounds like caliper pistons aren't moving out evenly when fluid pressure rises.
    suggest replacing seals around pistons or just free up/clean manually.

    The rubber seals to swell over time, and eventually restrict piston movement.

    What also happens is you can get a band of rust in the caliper between the dust boot and the piston seal. You have to pull the piston out to see it sand it or we give it a fine bead blast. That binds the piston up
