    It could be a slider, or you might have air bubbles in your brake lines. One may have it and the other not. If it feels spongy sometimes when depressing the pedal, that is a good indicator.

    I don't think you can really lubricate that. Once the caliper starts to freeze up i think the only thing you can really do is replace the whole caliper.

    Alex is right, I had the problem on my drivers side caliper, I did lube it but it eventually came back. I'd just get new calipers
