At 90,000 miles changed the front brake pads. Started noticing when coming to a stop, "not all the time", it appears the abs kicks in, the brake pedal pulsates & the vehicle pulls to the right.
Checked the calipers to make sure they are not hanging up.
At 97,000 miles, noticed right front wheel inboard brake pad has excessive wear, needs to be replaced. Left side no real wear. (Factory Pads)
Flushed the brake system, no change!
No abs light on or codes.

First, make sure the sensors are plugged in and tight. Next, have the computer scanned for codes. Most parts stores will do it for free. Next, clean or replace the caliper sildes so the caliper is moving freely and make sure the caliper piston isn't hanging up and sticking.

Let me know what you find.
