I am going through brake pads at least every 3 months. I have replaced the calipers, rotors, and of course the brake pads. Also I have noticed uneven wear on the passenger side which is also the side that seems to need replaced more often? What is the problem? I have been told it could be anything from the master cylinder, improper caliper brackets, and even improper calipers. The last two seem very unlikely to me. Is there a brake assembly diagram available?

Hi jgalloway1,

If the brakes wears out faster on one side, you need to check the brake caliper piston and slider bolt/pins for sticking.
