Front Brake Pads Finished Uneven

Muzimak · 09-25-2019, 09:44 AM

Hey everyone, on Monday I Replaced front Front Pads, to my surprise the driver side was completely gone, while the passanger side was almost 50% usable? Changed both and the car rarely squeaks now! I kept the other one as back up incase this happens again. Any fix to this?

How old is the truck? Could be a sticking caliper that needs to be rebuilt but if you're not getting any vibration then possibly bleeding issue

assuming rotors are on the same level, 50% usable means when you brake a bit hard it d need some work to keep the car straight.. yes there is a fix.. first you need to check your braking forces on each wheel in a brake shop.. it wont be 100% even on each wheel and afterwards according to numbers you ll need adjustments or new parts to put it back on optimal levels.. unless.. you re sliding around to the right side mostly on corners generally that ESP eats only the front left brake pad..
