Sticking brake calipers. This can be caused by moisture in the brake fluid which will cause the calipers to rust. Replace the calibers and replace all the brake fluid. It can also be caused by driving with your foot on the brake.

No. If your calipers are leaking, they need to be replaced. Calipers leak because they're worn out, or because you didn't change the fluid and it corroded the inside of the piston bore.

What would happen if you had sticking brake calipers?
Sticking calipers can cause a few symptoms. If they are stuck open, you will have difficulty stopping. If they are stuck closed, you will feel like you are breaking at all times. You will drive slowly and have trouble accelerating. If they stick intermittently there will be a delay between pressing the break and actually slowing down and slowing may be jerky. Then when you release the break peddle you will feel a slow release of the break which will result in slow acceleration. You would use more gas....the vehicle may pull to one side (towards the side with sticking caliper) whilst driving, your disc will get very hot to the point that the whole hub assembly and wheel will be hot to the touch, you could boil your brake fluid and get brake fade.......probably quite a few other things as well....If you suspect one or more calipers are sticking you need to get them sorted pronto!

What would cause front axles to make grinding noise on a 03 trailblazer?
I suspect there are multiple possibilities but the first which comes to mind for me are sticking brake calipers. A sticking caliper will cause a vehicle to veer to one side. In some cases you will note a grooved area in your brake rotor (disc), metallic shavings around your tire well and even a 'hot' metal smell after driving. Wheel bearings may cause a grinding noise possibly as well but not as common as will a bad half shaft (axle) but these tend to 'pop'.
