2002 Ford Explorer Repair Question
Brake pad question
Asked by mbullionAnswer
sounds like caliper is not self adjusting on that wheel.
this is caused by a sticking caliper piston seal.it will need to be rebuilt or replace the caliper.u want may advice put pads on it no need to worry.
So, in other words, if I leave it, replace the pads, that one will obviously continue to get worn down faster? No way to like bang on it or use some sort of tool to see if it would release lol. Just trying to explore my options and avoid future potential problems. Thanks!

THE MEDIC
My rotors and pads are good all around minus the one wheel... I have had my mechanic look at it...so at worst I need to replace a caliper and maybe pads just to keep it all even...I'm not dumping 2 to 300 bucks into the car unless all rotors and pads are bad
replace the caliper that will even it out.
when the caliper squeezes tha pads tighten on rotor. the squeeze is applied from 1 side of caliper on most cars by piston. thus in order for even wear to occur the caliper must SLIDE on it's mounts. if it binds/sticks the pressure is applied more to 1 pad then the other causing uneven wear.
