So I finally got under it today and theres definitely a few things I noticed.

- Passenger side has grease ALL over so it looks like the cv boot on that side.
- Passenger side caliper pistons move nicely when I manually tested
- Driver side lug nuts SOMEHOW were all loose - thankfully i stopped driving it or that would have ended horribly at some point.
- Driver side caliper pistons barely moved when I manually tested.

Interesting enough when I put it all back together and took it around the block, the brakes seemed fine now. So maybe its the driver side caliper thats shot again (I replaced it years ago from one of the pistons seizing then)? By manually playing with it maybe somehow that stopped this issue? I was planning on towing it into a local shop in the morning who offered to diagnose it for an hour of shop time labor though at this point the brakes seem ok so the best I can have them do is confirm that the caliper and cv need to be addressed?
