Rear brake pad weird wear pattern

[ghostuss]

Yea today I took my rear brake pads off due to the noise from pad wear warning and found weird wear pattern. Both inside pads of my rear pads had this huge uneven wear. Like on either one of them has this tilted wear angle, where one side of the pad is still fat and the other is almost gone. The outside 2 brake pads are still good, kinda tilted on wear but still got a lot meat left, but the inside 2 pads is all worn down to sensor. HMMmmm.. anyone got any idea what might cause this? I am thinking bad camber? Bad rotor placement? I did have new coilovers put in like a few weeks before I heard the pad wear warning noise. ppl help plz, I don't want to put in new rear brake pads every other month. :aw: :hyper:

when you say they are worn at an angle do you mean top to bottom, the short way, or side to side, the long way? which side was worn more, leading edge, trailing edge, inside, or outside?

if it's side to side, that is somewhat normal, but you probably have a stuck slide pin on each caliper. take each one off and clean up the pins, sand them smooth and regrease them. then put on new boots.

if it's top to bottom, were the little tabson the pad lined up with the slot on the caliper piston? if not that could cock the pad and make it wear unevenly. line it back up in the new pads and you should be fine.

it sounds like the outside pads are wearing unevenly because the caliper is twisted by the uneven inner pads. as long as you fix the problem with the inner pad they should be fine with your next set.
