front brake? problem

ok, i've bled the brakes, cleaned the discs and pads, but for some reason the front passenger side wheel partially sticks. not hitting the tire or anything like that. it's real noticeable in reverse because as soon as i hit the clutch, the runner stops dead. going forward it slows down pretty fast after i press the clutch. i don't have a manual for it either. is there a way to adjust the individual wheel manually or are they automatic? could the bearings be going bad? 84 4runner. thanks

I had the SAME problem, But it would LOCK completely at times. to the point I counldn't move. I'd have to jump out of the truck and release the pressure via the bleeder valve (Squirt brake fluid all over the place)

I replaced the Caliper, and the flex line, Still same problem, ended up being the master cylinder

I also had the same problem. New Master Cylinder solved it for me but both of mine were sticking. My mechanic said that toyota had problems with the calipers on the passenger side. Might try replacing the caliper first my new master cylinder was 250 from toyota.

I know I wanted Toyota parts. They are pricey.
