1992 240sx: will a tight parking brake cause pad wear?

[surreybc]

If the parking break is adjusted too tight will that cause the rear driver side brake pads to wear fast? that is what is happening to mine and i have already replaced calipers , rotors on both sides of rear and problem persists

[Firestorm]

is it just drivers side? at first i woulda guessed a seized caliper but then you said you replaced them...hmm...if your handbrake is adjusted too tight it would usually affect both calipers. but you can try and loosen it a little, problem is, short-term you probably wont see any effects.

I checked it today and the driver side is tighter . With the handbrake released , it is basically tight already on the driver side. on the passenger side, i have to move it a few inches before it gets tight.

check if your driver side caliper is seized.

when mine was seizing up, the pads and rotors wore down fast...
but only on that caliper.
