Could be a couple of things...one, is your e-brake on or stuck on that side? Could also be some gunk build-up on the inside or could be the snap ring on the inside has come loose or maybe even broken. I would check the e-brake first though.
Hope this helps.

Well, I ran into that EXACT same problem...and thought I had to rebuild my caliper...
Here's what you do, notice those cut-outs on the piston? Yeah, take a 22mm(I think) wrench and turn the piston clockwise(I think) using the grooves. Thats the auto-adjust on the FC's.
