Default uneven pad wear....

Just this past weekend, i serviced my rear brakes because it was squeeking. When i went took apart my rear passenger side caliper, i discovered that the inside pad is worn unvenly. The ouside pad is uneven as well but not as bad. It seems that the outter portion of the pad (closer to the outside edge of to rotor) is worn more than the inside (towards teh hub). The driver side rear is fine. I checked the sliders and they are not seized and the piston seems to rotate back in with no problems. But like i said, the inside pad is worn unevenly. Has anyone had problems like this before?

My setup:
- 5 lug conversion
- 97 prelude PB/MC
- stock PV

BTW - this is a 2000 DX hatch.

I have seen that alot. If your caliper is not seizing, sometimes it can be caused by either the caliper not being installed properly. Sorta cocked on the rotor. Or it could be moving when you apply the brakes.

I don't really see a problem with this though.

Was the 5 lug setup pulled off a wrecked car? Sounds like the caliper mount might be bent.
