Uneven Break pad Wear

[a4effort]

Ok so I replaced all 4 corners, pads and rotors in august of 2007. slotted rotors and a high quality pad. All from ECS tuning. Ive noticed I have uneven pad wear, specifically on the drivers side front and less noticeable on the passenger front pads. The out pad (haven't pulled a wheel to check the inners yet) is more worn towards the outside of the rotor. What could cause this and how do I go about fixing it? Do I need to replace the pads again?

It's normal to get some uneven wear on brake pads. Sometimes I'll see pads that are almost gone on one side and 20% on the other.

really? i was pretty certain that it isn't normal and is usually a caliper issue.

bleed the brake system with new fluid. make sure all sliding parts that need to be greased are greased.

You could have an issue, but if everything is lubed and moving, it's ok. I've been a auto tech for almost 15 yrs.

Great Post and Idea... It is normal when I changed my rear pads it was uneven as hell .. I greased and re-torqued everything but it is bound to happen again... Doesnt happen on stoptech and those bigger brakes because of the evenly distributed brakes pistons.. Single pistons will definatley do that....
