I just put front pads on 1 year ago. inboard pad on right side looks new. Outboard pad very worn. What would cause this?

Hello,

Most likely it is the caliper housing bolts are stuck holding to outer pad against the rotor.

Thanks, I didn't turn the rotors and then noticed the pedal pulsating at high speeds. Mighta had somethin to do with it. Took em off this time, carried them 2 miles to get turned; should be good this time.

I ended up putting 25 year-old High temp disc brake bearing grease on the caliper pins. I remember getting the can and it's been laying around here since. Hope that'll work.
When I got it apart, I saw the pads were evenly worn. At first glance through the caliper, that's what I thought I saw.
