The brakes on my GF's echo were pretty fucked. Every time you applied them, massive vibration. I figured they were warped.
Anyhow, I replaced the pads and rotors yesterday (Thanks No Limits). The rotors were nasty, looked like a groove in the middle of the rotor was forming except for one high spot. The pads are what had me scratching my head though. The outside pad had hardly any wear at all (about 4mm left). The inside pad (both driver and passenger sides) were pretty much done. There wasn't more than 1mm left on both of them. This is the pad that touches the actual piston.
My question is, what is causing the uneven pad wear? The sliders seemed to move fairly freely.
Thoughts?
