stuck caliper?

rear right brake seems to be squealing and i can hear it at low speeds after i change my rear springs today, that is all i did which included unbolting the lca bolt (21mm) and lower spring mount. \

also, when i put the AT in neutral, with the tires in the air spinning the rear right barely moves the tires on the left side. is that normal for open diff? i thought it supposed to rotate opposite directions?

Your piston might be stuck which usually requires a rebuild. The kit is not terribly expensive though.

When my rear brake caliper was stuck I bought a remanufactured one for $70 and swapped it out. For $70 and less than an hours time I didn’t feel like rebuilding it.

Yes. I discoveredd mine when my car started vibrating violently from the brake disc overheating at highway speeds. I stopped to check and found a very hot brake disk. It would get stuck and loosen as I drove. The swap was extremely easy.
