Default 2006 lx 4 door possible caliper problem ???

so i just started hearing some loud noises from my driverside front tire when i would brake, kinda like a louder ABS noise, and i have 19000 miles on the car already. so i figured i will just buy new pads incase i see i need to have the rotors cut and what not.

so when i took the pads out, to remove the rotors i noticed that the driver side pads where worn down all the way, and the passenger side still has about another 10k miles left on it.

what do you think honda-tech ?? time for a dealer inspection ? i would have to wait a while now since i already changed the pads and put new ones on no ??

Thanks in advance !!

k, thanks thanks.

i have to check to see if i have the original pads still. if not i can tell them what happened but they would need some kind of proof, before they replace anything no ?? im sorry i have never been to the dealer unless for buying parts for my turbo hatch.

THANKS !!!

Yeap... You screwed yourself over by replacing those brake pads.. If I see a car like that and then new brake pads and wrench marks.. I'd say something fishy is going on and deny any warranty claims.
