Default Front brake pads wearing unevenly

I just bought my 2003 carerra 2 and it has 65k miles on it and i have reciepts showing the brakes and rotors were done at 57k. but my left front pad is already worn down and squeeking when i brake, whereas the right frontstill has quite a bit of life left. Is there anything normal that might cause this or do i have a problem? I had a porsche only shop look over the car beforeI bought it and they didnt say anything about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like you have a caliper hanging up on one side.

Is that something easy to fix? I'm trying to get a repair manual for the car so I can see what allI can do myself as little issues arise and savethe big repairs for the porsche shop. AmI right when I think the brake pads can be swapped from therightwheel toleft? (which will give me a little more life since my right pads are still good, until I can get the caliperfixed)
