Brake Pad Wear on 1st gen Altimas - Altima Forums.net - The Nissan Altima Enthusiast Talk and Discussion Forums

Hey everyone,

I have recently replaced my brake pads for all four of my disc brakes. Three of the pads looked to have what would be normally expected wear. However the Front Driver-side Brake Pads were _heavily_ worn.

My question is this, has anyone noticed a slight tendency for brake pads to wear on one side more than the other? or should I be investigating possibly caliper weakness/failure?

Overall my car seems to stop very well, so this is not an urgent concern, merely something I would like to think about when I change my brakes next time. Any feedback will be appreciated, Thank You.
