Brakes?
My left driver pads are all done but the right driver is still sitting pretty much with full life left.Any answers as to if the right caliper needs replacing?I replaced the left front rotor and pads.What should I do?

I feel like a brake specialist at this point .. you need to replace the caliper only for that side ( it is also suggested that you repalce both calipers at once but not entirely necessary) your caliper piston has locked in the out position so that it pushes your brake pad against your rotor and thus wears it down prematurelyyou need to replace the caliper then bleed it and of course repalce the brake pads on both sides is recommended
