After that was fixed the car didn't pull to the right and my mileage went back to the 30s on the highway lol
Sticky brakes? What happened, did you have a bad caliper?

In the caliper there was a lot of grime, so even popping the brakes out proved to be pain. I cleaned it all and after applying the grease / silicone to the caliper, pins, and brake shims it all seemed great after. It also took care of this vibration in the steering wheel.
