Suggestions Please

I never had a problem with the front end as far as anything in the braking system. But now up front is a bad scrapping sound and it seems the rotor is not turning as free as it should. I put new rotors and brakes on. Could it be the caliper (my only guess for it's old and worn, but for the last year having car worked fine)? Now my rear caliper seized and I replaced it. I know to put one on the other side, but haven't did it yet. Is it possible that this one new rear caliper could of screwed up front? These both are on the same side of car too.

Thanx Guys

When you replaced it did you flush the system or just bleed it?

I bled it, but wasn’t much coming out of that old caliper. Listening to it good last couple days, I’m assuming after three news ones, this old one took a crap. I will find out today or tomorrow when I put another on. The next post will be this interior piece I have to identify to replace. It’s the round piece (some sensor or something) on the base that holds the rear view mirror. I’ll have a pic in the post. But caliper, can let you know if it works.
