I feel braking from the f-l but not the f-r. Upon removing the tire to check thye brakes, I discovered that the caliper has more give than it should. what do I do about this? where should I check for the issue, or what would need to be repaired/replaced?

    braking issue is due to the faulty proportioning valve, or there is air in the brake system. bleed the system first and if that doesnt work then replace the proportioning valve. its purpose is that it sends the exact amount of brake pressure to all four calipers. the loose and moveable rotor is due to worn wheel bearings or a loose spindle nut, i recommend removing the rotors and replacing the wheel bearings and packing them with wheel bearing grease and the spindle nut do not tighten down extremly tight at all almost hand tight and thats it or you will burn up those bearings and they will get so hot they will weld themselves to the spindle. good luck
