    What will cause one rotor to wear faster than the other?

    My passenger side looks to be wearing alot faster than my drivers side. The wheel spins freely with no hangup on the brakes.

    On one of my older cars I had one of the studs that hold the caliper to the brake assembly bent which caused the brake pad to wear faster and uneven. Could check that???

    could be a seized or sticking caliper, sliders may need a re-greasing?

    a few things, air in a line, a frozen piston, kicked and stuck pad or a faulty abs control module that is lightly engaging a caliper for EDL
