The car nose-dives to the right when braking, especially at highway speed. Howevr, after braking several times in a row, the nose-diving decreases. After diving several miles without braking, it returns.There is also a clicking sound when driving at lower speeds. Clicking changes with speed and disappears when you brake. Can't tell if the clicking is from the front or back. At very low speed (less than 5mph) there is a slight ginding noise as if a brake pad is contacting a high point on a rotor and car learches very slightly. I suspect a stuck brake caliper. Your opinion is appreciated.

You could have a caliper problem, but nose dive is most likely a shock/spring.
