Default brake mayb problem

earlyer on in the year i have a seezed piston (passenger front), had this changed and everything was ok. but now it feels like the drivers side has started to stick on abit.

it could be me just thinking about it to hard, but what tests can i do to find out for sure?

when braking, the car does not seam to pull to one side more than the other.

any ideas?

remove caliper and check the dust seals to make sure they are not split then push the piston in using a G clamp (after removing the pads) the piston should slide in with very little resistance. If its tough then you have a seized piston Make sure you dont spray brake fluid from your master cylinder when pushing back the piston
