Maybe some rust on the one rotor?  Takes a few applications to "polish" them.

I recently decided to move it to start going through it, and noticed that when I drove down my driveway and put my foot on the brakes, the front passenger side disc brake skidded the tire when I applied the brakes, while the driver side one seemed to act properly. I tried it 2-3 times with the same result. The brakes release fine,just the uneven braking up front. These are ATE brakes, not Girling. Would appreciate any experience people have had with this?
