Uneven wear of brake pads...
I have an 02 LX Civic and for some reason this has been a constant problem.Supposely a brake "specialty" shop was suppose to fix this but apparently didnt.It was back in march though but whatever...I paid 300 bucks to get it resolved...The Driver side inside pad is completely gone while the outside still has quite a bit of meat left.What gives?I'm going to throw a pad in there temporarily but it sucks this is happening especially with the AZ 115 degree heat right now...Any Ideas???

Re: Uneven wear of brake pads...
Caliper is probably stuck, so the piston is pressing on the back, but the floating assembly isnt compressing.
Replace the caliper (its probably $40 bucks after core charge), and see if that solves it. If its only one side, its most likely a caliper issue.
