Default brake pads

I just changed the brake pads at 146k and the right front was almost worn to nothing; however, the left front was only at least half worn. The car doesn't pull either way but I'm wondering why all 4 pads weren't worn the same.

The above is living proof that any idiot can learn how to work a computer.

Although I do feel like I've crossed a line here; this is my first useless post, in contrast to his 960 posts.

I also understand that I have fallen into his ploy, by acknowledging his stupidity I've given him the much needed attention that he lacks in his life.

Yes thank you for showing me the attention I lack in my life.

Cut the crapp Romeo. If you dont have any useful stuff to post in the Accord forum, check out the Basement. Posts like yours dont belong here.

Anyway, even though the car wasnt pulling, I would still have your calipers checked. Your right front one may be binding causing the excessive wear.

Yeah, I had the same problem a few weeks ago and that was the diagnosis. Also, check your wheel too for an unusual added amount of carbon deposits, because if you see that then you caliper is really gone, and your brake pad will immediately follow.

Thank you Sir

So by "binding", you mean the piston is not going all the way back into the bore hole?
