I just took my front brake pads off and the passenger ones are both shot (3mm on outer and 2mm on inner) and the drivers are both ok (6mm outer and 5mm inner).

So what is the problem?

Is the passenger one sticking shut, or is the drivers one not closing? Also, i have noticed NO pull in this car...none when braking and none when driving normally. How is that possible if the sides are braking unevenly...you would think the car would pull to one side?

 

just take the calipers apart and make sure the slides are greased with silicone grease, there not that much else that can go wrong

 

i could see that explaining the wear if it was inner/outer wear difference but the difference is from one side of the car to the other


i am buying new pads/rotors right nwo and i dont want to mess them up if i am having a caliper problem

 

then it has to be the porportioning valve

I doubt it, I had the same problem before I replaced my fronts brakes on my 97 dx to 99-00 Si front brakes and the problem went away when I swapped brakes. I kept my stock prop valve and haven't had that problem since.

 

i think the prop valve just divides front and rear...i could be mistaken tho

 

im guessing the caliper piston needs to be resurfaced and resealed, or the whole caliper should be rebuilt.

but check your rubber brakelines for blisters or cracks too.

it wouldnt necessarily pull to one isde if the front brakes are uneven.
