dantwomey Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) I'm due for a front brake job again and after a quick inspection something puzzled me. On both fronts the inside pad is gone but the outside pad is about 50%. Does this mean my calipers aren't sliding as they should to equalize pad wear?

70chevy03ss Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 yup sounds like bad calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantwomey Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) yup sounds like bad calipers The calipers work great. Am I on the right track when I assume I have to service the 'pins' the calipers slide on so brake pad wear is even?

Fireman31 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 A bit more wear on the inner pad then the outer pad is common, but to have 50% on the outer and the inner almost on the backing is excessive. Make sure you have an adequite amount of grease on the slides and pins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
