i just changed my front pads and rotors...

i couldn't help noticing that the inside pad on the drivers side was worn down to the metal, while the other 3 front pads were only half gone...

is this normal???

same problem here. Rear insides where more than the outsides too.

do you also get a high pitched hum/squeal when bring the car to a complete stop???

I'd have to agree with all of you, It sucks, Mines making a horrid noise from the right rear.

yeah...is there a way to check if a cars pads are wearing out? the brakes only squeak when i press on the break lightly and coming to a slow slow stop...if i break hard then it doesnt squeak. I took a look at the pads and it still has some more before the metal

this is the way mine came out too... kept checking the outside pads... the insides started grinding.

I change mine last night, Same thing with my brake, inside one on driver side
is worn down to like 5%, when the other 3 is only about at 30%.
Design flaw?

My front pass side did this, it was down to nearly metat and the outside and drivers side pas were at least 20% material left on them. And what about the price on out pads?!?! I think that a mechanic ought to be in the box with them at those prices....

I think it maybe a design flaw. My brake pedal was vibrating under high speed braking so I changed my pads and noticed the same uneven wear.
Replace your pads as soon as you notice them worn. It will save your rotor.

thanks for the feedback, i wanted to make sure it wasn't just mine...

Just changed my brake pads this weekend. Front passenger inside pad is down to metal, but the outside pad has at least 20% left. All the other other corners have pretty even wear with at least 20%.

I am getting ready to change mine and noticed the same thing the inner pads are wore more than the outer. The funny thing is the back right inner pad seems to the worst out of all of them. I was wondering if it was just me or what.

i think it has to do with the order that all the pistons are depressed... if you look at the bleed order you'll see it should match what we see as increased wear.

as everyone esle has posted, the inside rears wear out a lot faster than the rest. just pop the driver's side rear wheel off once a month and give it a look-see through the caliper.

as for our pads being expensive... buy different pads. better and cheaper. its a miracle.

the rears don't necessarily wear faster than the fronts. but if you are in a certain type of traffic a lot then that can be the case because the rears engage in very light braking situations, when all my brakes were squeeking from being low i tested it and it's like barely touching the pedal will engage only the rear brakes. but i disagree with saying that the rears wear faster because my front pads were grinding (inside pads of course) and my rears were only squeeling.

i think it's all about what kinda traffic you see most, or what kinda driving you're doin'. for dailys i'm sure rears are almost always gonna go out first. i think the left foot braking i was doing is what destroyed my fronts so quickly.
