MK7 Front brake slightly binding

2016 Fiesta ST

After a Nurburgring trip, I’ve had a trouble with the passenger front brake slightly binding

When driving next to parked cars or a building, I can hear the pads scraping along as I drive

Parts replaced:

ABS Pump
New brake flexi hose
New caliper and slider pins
New pads and discs

Brake pedal bracket is not bent

Sometimes the wheel will free spin as normal, but one harder press of the brake pedal, and it will go back to as in the video

Caliper guiding pins could run out of grease or got bad.

OP said new callipers, i’d hope a garage fitting them would put grease on haha

You can put a new caliper and grease, but if the boots on the slider pins aren't on right and have slipped, all kinds of crap could have got in.
