I know this has probably been gone over a million times, but my search didn't quite answer my question. I replaced the left front caliper, rotor, and pads. Do i need to bleed both fronts or just the side I replaced? I lost about a tablespoon of fluid during the change, and have bled that side. Just wondering if I need to do both sides.
TIA

You cannot just do one side. If you are going to do a brake job you need to turn the rotors and replace the pads on BOTH sides.

Is there pressure from the brake pedal or does it feel spongey?

Why did you replace the caliper and rotor anyway?

I did pads and rotors on both fronts, but had a terrible squeak on the drivers side, long story short, the caliper was sticking. So I replaced that caliper only. Pads and rotors have the same wear on them.
