WELL, I AM NO EXPERT, BUT YOU MAY HAVE MESSED UP YOUR CALIPER. MUD COULD HAVE SEEPED INTO YOUR PISTONS AND "ATE THEM UP". THE REASON YOU ARE FEELING THE VIBRATIONS IN THE LEFT SIDE IS BECAUSE IT IS DOING ALL OF THE BRAKING, WHILE THE RIGHT CALLIPER IS NOT DOING SO MUCH. I WOULD TAKE THE CALIPER APART AND CLEAN IT UP WITH SOME BRAKE CLEANER AND CHECK THINGS OUT FIRST. GET A BUDDY TO LOOK AT THE CALIPER WHILE YOU COMPRESS IT "ON THE ROTAR" DO NOT DO THIS OFF THE ROTAR AS YOU COULD MESS THINGS UP FURTHER. MY GUESS IS THAT IF YOU GET A NEW CALIPER ALL THINGS WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO YOU COULD JUST REBUILD IT. BUT THAT IS MY GUESS, THAT SEEMS TO BE PLAUSABLE TO ME.
