Well, I AM an expert, and it IS a sticking brake caliper.

If you have single-piston calipers, then the 'other' side of the caliper is supposed to 'float' so that both sides press against the disk equally. If the floating side sticks, only the piston side pushes.

If you have double-piston calipers, then one piston is frozen (stuck) in its bore.

In both cases, I strongly recommend having the caliper replaced by a competent shop, the other caliper carefully cleaned, and the brake fluid completely flushed. Note that, on that particular wheel, you were driving with only one half of the braking ability, which should sound dangerous.
