DRIVER SIDE BRAKE PADS TO THE METAL, PASSENGER STILL GOOD
sup, I think this question is for all cars in general. I started to hear my brakes grinding so I changed them out. My driver side pad was to the bare metal,scrapping the s#$t out of the out edge of the rotor. The passenger side pads were literally only 50% used. Why would one side ware out faster then the other?
Did the caliper move freely side to side on its pins? If those are not moving freely it will cause irregular wear.
Do you bleed your brakes when you do the pads. If there was a big air bubble in the passenger side line that would cause it not to wear as much.
I have heard of the piston in the caliper sticking too but I have never encountered it but if that is th case it would cause the drivers side pad to wear extreemly fast.

Probably bad caliper on the drivers side.
If he had a lot of air in the lines, I would imagine that the brake pedal feel would be spongy

also the check the rubber hose. I have had some of them good bad and work like a check valve keeping fluid pressure on the caliper. wearing the pads out
