Does it turn freely with the caliper removed? if not, check the bearings or hub assembly. You only replaced one caliper? If one's bad, the other isn't far behind.

Why do your brakes make a clicking noise when you slow down?

Vibration when applying brakes is most likely warped rotors. Another cause could be loose caliper bolts.
Why would the inner pads on the rear disk brakes of a 1993 Saturn S1 wear out and score the rotors 5000 miles after the pads and rotors were replaced?
Check to see if the brake caliper pins are stuck or stiff. Also, if the park brake is part of the caliper assambly it may be stuck. I've seen this on rear disk Grand Prixs and Luminas.

What is the problem if the brakes squeal after changed?
There are a couple of possibilities. One is lack of lubrication of brake system moving and/or contact points such as between back of pads and caliper housing and/or piston. Another could be that, the rotors/discs are warped/distorted and need to be machined or more preferably, replaced. If you replaced the front brakes (example) and you still have a squeal, it's possible it may be coming from the rear brakes.
