on my 00rs my front brakes the pads are wearing really funny...

i'll try to explane it........ ok if i were looking at the front brake pad like it would be installed on the car the end that is up towards the fender is at 10% but end towards ground is at 80% do you get what i'm sayin?

it almost looks like the second piston on the caliber isn't working?

anyone heard of this?

please get back to me............

I'd have that checked out by the dealer or a brake store, it doesn't sound right.

Oh, my guess is, like you say that 1 piston isn't working or that your rotor is warped.

It is highly unlikely that your rotor is warped because if that was the case, then everytime you hit the brakes, your steering column will vibrate especially with that much uneven pad wear. More than likely it is possible that one piston is not moving at all. But definitely have it checked out by someone.
