So Today i was swapping to steelies on my 94 Celica I purchased from a fella on this forum.
Anyways, I noticed that my drivers side brake rotor looked putrid, so i looked at the pads and they are almost metal to metal. Which is lame because I replaced them not even 3 months ago... I check the other side and its perfectly normal even wear... What gives? |

I'd check the calipers first. pull the passenger side caliper off and see if you can collapse it with a c-clamp.
The wheel bearings could be bad, but I doubt that it would be causing the brake wear. -------------------- '99 Celica GT - Sold
