Is something wrong with my caliper
So with all the brake threads lately, I decided it was time to jump on board. Ordered crown stainless lines and power stop calipers. Three of the calipers slide freely on the slide pins. The fourth does slide, but not freely by any means. It can be moved by hand with significant force. It is a front caliper. It is my wife's daily driver taking the kids to school, so really want it safe for the fam. Am I worried about nothing, or should I send them back for a replacement set?
Thanks for reading and any response

Pull the slide pins out and see if the factory forgot to lube them. Also, see if there is a defect inside which hinders operation.
If it is just a lack of lube, lube it up. If it is a defect, send it back.
