Question front brake problem....

i was driving my car around last night and once i had stoped at a stop sign and acceled away.. my front driver brake started sqeeking the whole time i was driving down the road and when i shifted,, my car seemed to dive to the left............does this mean my caliper is seized or do i need to grease up my shims and stuff??

I'd check the left caliper. First see if your wheel is warm or hot if you've just stopped driving the car, that will tell you you have a dragging brake too.

my steering is weird too if i turn to full lock left it turns then turns alittle more after that so i jacked my car up and looked at it and it seems to bind up once it is full lock left and when straightened has alittle play in it.........when driving this causes a loud pop and clicking noise only when i hit bumps or turn,,,anyone else have this problem????
