* Misaligned calipers: If the brake calipers are not properly aligned, they can put uneven pressure on the brake pads, causing them to wear unevenly.
* Worn or damaged brake pads: If the brake pads are worn or damaged, they can also put uneven pressure on the rotors, causing them to wear unevenly.
* Faulty brake hardware: If the brake hardware is faulty, it can prevent the brake pads from moving properly, causing them to wear unevenly.
* Uneven tire wear: If the tires are not wearing evenly, it can put uneven pressure on the brakes, causing them to wear unevenly.
* Driving habits: If you drive in a way that puts a lot of stress on the brakes, such as braking hard or frequently, it can cause the brakes to wear unevenly.
To prevent uneven brake wear, it is important to:
* Have your brakes inspected regularly: A qualified mechanic can inspect your brakes and make sure that they are properly aligned and that the brake pads and hardware are in good condition.
* Replace your brake pads when they are worn: Do not wait until the brake pads are completely worn out, as this can damage the rotors.
* Drive in a way that minimizes brake wear: Avoid braking hard or frequently, and use engine braking whenever possible.
* Rotate your tires regularly: This will help to ensure that the tires wear evenly, which will reduce the amount of stress put on the brakes.
