[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 538048, member: 58988"] I considered a sticking caliper, but the caliper works (the inner pad is worn). The symptom is that there is uneven wear between the twp pads and, since the pad on the piston side is worn, I suspected that the caliper assembly was not moving, or not moving beyond a certain point. I removed the pads and installed the caliper to check for smooth operation and it seems fine. While sliding the caliper in and out and pulling up on it, it did once hang a bit on the upper spring, but it’s not in the area of travel where the wear of the pad has stopped. I’m baffled. Do you know what's included in the rebuild kit - is it piston seals? I am going to replace the pads to see if still doing this. It’s a long-term experiment though, as I have to wait for noticeable wear. [/QUOTE]
