I was checking out my brake pads yesterday while working on my suspension, and it looked like there was a possibility that the pad on the inside of the rotor was wearing more than the rotor on the outside of the rotor. is that possible? and if so what would cause that?

 

If your slider pins are ceasing it could cause that. Check them out.

 

See this all the time.
Make sure your sliders aren't frozen once again.

This is normal to a certain extent.

Remember your inner pad usually compresses against the rotor before the outer.

 

which ones are the slider pins?

It's those two bolts you take out that have really long greased up collars.


THat's what they look like on another car.


Looks like part 13 and 14

 

ok so in this picture (honda part number site for my specific car) it would be parts 12 and 17?

looks like it. They are the two bolts you un-do to get your caliper off. They have a very long greased up shoulder on them. Just make sure you caliper can slide up and down on it. Also only use the special high-temp grease for it.

 

well I still need to replace the wheels, so i might take a crack at it and try to grease it up see if that helps any

 

in the case that they are frozen or sticking how hard is it going to be to get them off?
