Rear caliper is stuck, have some questions 200 1986

Hi,

My neighbor has a 1986 Volvo 200 Wagon, and she says the right rear caliper is stuck according to a muffler shop that looked at it. A burning smell was coming from that area so things got pretty hot.

My questions are:

What do you guys usually replace after this happens?

Do you change the calipers on both sides, and should she change the pads or rotors to be safe? Can the rotor warp from overheating?

Also, how is the quality of remanufactured calipers? OK ?

Thanks,
Randy
