Front left brake pads rattling. I checked the caliper and it

moves in/out. Can a caliper get "Lazy" and not push the pads all the way again the rotor ?
When one releases the brake, by how much does the caliper retract ?
Would trapped air in the brake line gives a lazy caliper ?
Would bleeding the line help ?
I am about to dismantle the caliper and check for internal corrosion, sand clean put in new rubber seal and reassemble, messy but cheaper than $200+
I took the wheel 3 times now, all seem to check right but still
I have pad noise when braking gently and turning corners. Slight vibration is developing too ...
Any suggestions or tests ?
TIA !!
