View Full Version : Un-even brake wear

I've noticed the last couple of times I wash my car the passenger side wheel has a hell of a lot more brake dust on it than the drivers side. The pads look more worn as a result but I cant see anything obvious as to why. Is there some sort of bias setting on the car or is it just a sticky caliper?? The car doesn't brake un-evenly or pull to one side either.
Anyone come across this one before?

Weird! I'd believe that one side picks up more dirt than the other as the wheels are not symetric if you look closely
ie, all four wheels are the same rather than Honda who usually make left and right hand wheels. I hate it when you see a CRX and some monkey hasn't spotted that and got the wheels mixed up!

You mention that the pads wear more that side which I would understand if you had brake pull.

Sorry, no definate answers!
Wash your wheels more often? http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif
