Only drivers side front brake wearing.... Options

[cardshark525]

I am having a bit of a problem guys and just wanted some feedback on what you think the problem might be.

My car was in the shop for an alignment and balancing a month ago and I noticed the the drivers side front brake pad is wearing a lot faster than all the other pads.
How much faster? It has about half the meat left on is as the other pads.

I already bought new Hawk Ceramic pads however after I found this problem I'm not ganna waste another set of pads.

Any ideas on what it might be? Bad brake like? 3 bad brake lines and 1 good? Any ideas... throw them at me. Thanks.

Or his driver-side caliper is seized closed and is under constant wear -- the most likely explanation is that one or the other of your calipers is seized (I heard once of someone having a clogged brakeline, every other time it's been the calipers). Fairly easy to figure out which one, have the car up and turn the wheel. If the driver's side won't turn with the brakes off, or turns with difficulty, it's that side. If the passenger's side turns with the brakes applied, it's that side.

Spend $20 on a rebuild kit or $50 on a remanufactured caliper, and problem solved.
