Going to change brake pads in front,, and i see that pads are worn very different!
on the inside pads are nearly gone but on outside it seem s like new
And its the same thing on the other side too


I have checked the caliper stempel and sliders seems to work fine


Does anyone have this problems? And is there something wrong

Suspect the pads will be seized in the carrier bracket, with the caliper having piston on one side only, the braking effort will force that side only.
Make sure you strip everything down and give all items a thorough clean. Remove the pad carrier bracket and clean all old brake pad dust residue using a wire brush and/or some energy paper.
Clean the slider pins with emery to remove any deposits.
Check the discs for a lip & remove with a grinder if Ness. Make sure that they've not gone below min. thickness.
Smear copper grease onto the rear faces of the pads & onto the tabs where they locate into the carrier brackets, lube the pins as well.
Brakes should be stripped & cleaned & rebuilt in this manner once a year to prevent them getting seized up, but manufacturer's are only interested in saying how much % is left to go .......
