Is there something wrong with my caliper?
Is there something wrong with my caliper? My front right brake pads have worn all the way down and need to be replaced but the front left side looks almost like new.
I bought the car with 92000 miles a year ago and it now has 101000 miles. When I it, I believe the pads were almost like new (like the drivers side is) but I don't remember for sure.
That brake (passenger front) has a decent amount of pulsation in it because the rotor was warped when I bought the car, although it seems to have evened out a little bit over the 9000 miles I drove it. I'm not sure if it was just that one or if there were others that were/are warped or not.
The car might pull just slightly to the right when braking very hard but I can't say that I realy ever notice it, and it drives perfectly straight on the roads. I don't believe there is any drag on that wheel from the brake. There are no leaks on the caliper either and the tires have even wear.
Do you think the left front pads are worn out is because of the warped rotor eating them up or because of something else? Should I go ahead and replace the caliper? Do I need to replace the drivers side too?

Maybe the origional owner for some reason didnt change that side? Do they look like the same brand of pad? I dont think yuour rotor would have caused it unless its SERIOUSLY WARPED, but it doesnt sound that bad. what condition are the slide bolts on the caliper in?
Thats probably it most all the ones that ive seen wear the brakes weird the pins where seized up! Heck ive had to have some machine out for some people before! Make sure they have plenty of lube!
