I replaced the front brake pads less than a year ago. Back then I noticed that the driver side brake pads were worn a lot more than the passenger side. In fact the passenger side looked fine. I did not think about it too much and changed both passenger and drivers side pads. That was June of last year. The same problem has appeared again. the driver side pads are worn down down considerably more than the passenger side. I drove down the street and tested the brakes really hard and it does not pull to the side. Do you think I should replace my calipers or is something else?

before you do that, jack it up, take off the tire and expose the caliper in question, and have someone press the brake pedal while the car is on and in park(of course) to see what kind of pressure you get. you may be able to fix it by taking it off and hitting it with a metal brush then putting some,copper paste on the contact point so that it will give it the mobility that it needs to grip the rotor.
