    Question Uneven Brake Pad wear? Causes?

    With the wonderful weather we had this past weekend, I swapped my winters out and decided to measured the brake pad (103,000km on them) while I was at it..

    Front-Right = 5.8mm
    Front-Left = 3.8mm

    Rear-Right = 7mm
    Rear-Left = 8mm

    I'm wondering what's causing the uneven wear? I mean... I got the brakes services by the dealership at 30,000km, 60,000km, 90,000km. Shouldn't the left and right be close to matching? The rear and front difference I can understand.

    Please educate me.

    The slider pins probably need to be lubed. Dealer probably did not do this. Is that the total measurement of both pads?
