So, what I thought was a possible wheel bearing issue was not. I jacked up the front and moved the wheel around. No movement on both sides. Then, I noticed the passenger side front wheel was very hard to move. I removed the wheel and it looked like there was no pad left. This was strange as I had changed my pads about 3 months ago. I lifted the caliper off the pads and removed them. The inner brake pad was worn down to the metal and the outer brake pad was about 1mm away from being completely worn down. I was running out of time so I didn't check the other side.
I bought new brake pads and proceeded to replace the pads. I have slotted rotors by Ate. I don't think that would have made a difference as the rears have powerstop slotted rotors and the pads have been doing well for over a year.
I go to replace the driver's side front brake pads, expecting there to be almost the same wear, and it is normal for 3 months of driving. So, I don't know what's going on the passenger side front brakes. Anyone else experience this? I also got new calipers when I replaced the rotors. The odd thing about these calipers is that I cannot fit the brake pad clip onto the caliper. It doesn't allow me to slide the brake pad on. Not enough room. That's odd because I could fit both clips on the driver's side caliper and the rear calipers.
Today, after my drive in to work, the brake pads on the passenger are smoking literally. The driver's side isn't. I could smell this maybe about two months ago but couldn't track it down to anything. Well, now I know.
Any brake experts here know about this? Brake caliper is about three months old.
