I had double trouble with my 98. Day 2 of ownership saw it at the dealer
for a new caliper, rotor, and pads due to a stuck rotor.
Then around 50,000 miles in, I had a caliper locating pin back out. The
caliper cocked sideways, and ate the pad and rotor.

interesting that the exact same thing happened to my '98. Right front was
literally melting and I had to have everything replaced!
