Can anyone give a suggestion as to why one pad of a disk-brake system would wear *significantly* more than the pad on the other side of the rotor. I mean, the worn pad is about one-half the thickness of the "un-worn" pad. Might it have anything to do with the possibility that the rotor seems to be "out-of-true" (analogous to "out-of-round" in drum brakes)? The pads on the other side of the car are wearing quite evenly. Please mail responses to me; I haven't had much time lately to read net.auto and I don't want to risk missing your response. Than you very much. keith Keith Ericson at TekLabs (resident factious factotum) Tektronix, PO 500, MS 58-383 Beaverton OR 97077 (503)627-6042 uucp:[ucbvax|decvax|ihnp4|(and_many_others)]!tektronix!tekgvs!keithe CSnet:keithe@tek ARPAnet: keithe.tek@rand-relay
