Caliper is hanging up somehow. Look at the slider areas for burrs, wear, lack of lube etc.

When I pulled out the pins, there was no lube to speak of. The car hasn't been driven in over 20 years, mind you. 
I gave the shafts a polish with 400-grit and will get some proper lube on them when the rotors go back on.

Some parts came in from RockAuto and Amazon (!!) so I was able to tackle the sway bar bushings and end links. The nicer ACDelco Gold link kit ended up being cheaper than RockAuto after factoring in shipping and USD-to-CAD conversion, and shipped next-day. This kit looked noticeably beefier than the original ones I pulled off.
I removed the bar, 2 retainers and 2 mounting brackets and cleaned off all the guck, degreased all the parts, nuts & bolts, gave everything a thin coat of Fluid Film for rust prevention, and reinstalled everything. Eventually I'll get around to cleaning much of the undercarriage and spraying on some Fluid Film.
