Recent D/S Rear Brake Squeal

D/S Rear Brake has started squealing. Pad doesn't seem to be pressing evenly on the disc... see piccies one without arrow is passenger side for comparison. What's the usual cause of that?

Looking at the rust on the caliper, either the slider pins have sized, or the piston or both. Disc looks pretty knackered too.

Pads with a bigger footprint than the ones than came off. Discs are knackered.

Thanks chaps.

I don't want to dismantle everything once for inspection and once for the job so looking to get everything I might need in one hit...

New rotors (with set screws) and pads for sure...

Q1: Buy carriers & fitting bolts with guide pins in situ or hope the bore in the carrier is OK and get just guide pins with boots and lube?

Q2: Buy a piston seal kit or just buy a pair of new calipers?

discs, pads and calipers, job done

Do calipers usually come with the carrier and guide pins (STC1907)?
