I was rotating my tires this weekend ('96 GC Laredo 6cyl 134k miles)and
noticed that the front passenger brake pads were completely worn and the
brake rotor was HEAVILY scored. The drivers side front brakes and
rotor was in good shape with about 3/16" of wear left on the pads. What
would make the one side wear so much faster than the other? A couple of
strange things about this.

1) I never heard the chirping noise the pads usually make when they're
getting to the end of their life, nor did I hear the metal on metal
grinding sound of the rotor being cut into.

2) I replace the front shocks about 1,000 miles ago and while I had the
tires off I looked at both sides up front and the brakes appeared to be
in good shape.

Can anyone shed some light on what may be going on?


Best Regards,

Marcel
