Default Brake Question !!!!!!!!

I have a 1995 acura integra gsr and I was checking my brake pads today and i noticed that the front passenger side the pads are almost completely out and when i checked the front driver side the pads still have almost most of its life left whats causing this and also sometimes when im braking and i turn the wheel the pedal jumps and feels as if something grinding whats going on with my brake setup anyone????

Check the driver side caliper for free motion on the slide pins. The caliper piston could also be seized.

its most likely that the piston is seized, if not i would say that your rotors are warped, make sure the slide pins are lubed up with brake grease

does it pull to one side when you apply the brakes? if so then the opposite side that its pulling to has problems.

grinding? my car used to do that then i ripped the brake dust covers off cuz they were junk and so damn noisy. are you pads all the same? replaced the same time? does the piston in the caliper operate normally? check these things...

Sometimes you can get away with just taking the piston out and cleaning everything up.

If you don't feel like doing all that, just buy another one
