98 front brake problem

Is there any common problems that cause the front brakes to grab and make the the truck pull to one side or the other? It's a 1998 F150 with a 4.6 triton

This is my nephews truck and he is doiuing summer work why school is out. He'll be back home in a few weeks for a couple of weeks. I'm trying to find out what type of problems others have encountered.

Once he gets back we'll probably just take the front tires off and see what condition the calipers, brake pads, and lines are in. Take the calipers off and make sure that they can slide back and forth. Is there a specific type of grease that is recommeneded for this?
