Pulls left while braking, replaced right side

Ok never think an xj is a 1 ton pick up, yeah i know i learned my lesson so dont yell at me. long story short i seized the right caliper stopping. everything was fine for a while. now it pulls left when i brake. the harder i brake the more it pulls. tracks straight and everything. whats the deal here?

pull your calipers, especially the right side and grease up the sliders.

Agreed, when one caliper is seized then it just heats up the rotor constantly to the point where even when you step on the brakes it's so hot it can't do anything. So you might as well not have it hooked up and it pulls to the opposite side.

This is a very common thing with jeeps, at least in my experience.
