I had never heard of that either, but when I spoke with a mechanic in the family last night, he basically restated fasternyou929's suggestion here.

Sucks you have to order parts again, but at least now you know what it is.
Just be glad yours didn't go out the way mine did. I was driving up 441 in Fort Lauderdale and hit the brakes when a pedestrian stepped from the median into the highway. When he saw me and retreated, I released the brake pedal only to have the steering wheel nearly jerked out of my hands. The left caliper maintained pressure, and to this day I'm 100% sure that poor guy things I tried to take him out.
