rear driver side brake wore down faster than rear passanger??

[c240sx13]

Yeah just like the title says, my rear driver side brakes wore down completely while my rear passenger brake pads were still full of life. Why do you think this happened? I used the key to push the piston back on both sides? Did I not bleed it correctly? Im going to change both of them again, before I do though, what do you guys think I did wrong so I wont do it again??

have you replaced the calipers in the past. thats usually a symptom that the caliper is not disengaging all the way and dragging so it wears the pads unevenly.
or the other one is not engaging at all

ahh crap it did unwear the pad unevenly!! nooo am i gonna need to replace the caliper soon!??!!?

did you make sure the piston notch is sitting on the brake pads correctly?Mine wern't sitting correctly on one side, and that side wore down much quicker than the other side. Now i think they're fine.

Caliper is seized. Second most common problem on 240s. Replace as a pair.

mainly because of age. but i am positive it s bad caliper i woudl replace them in a par as recommended above just so you know both are good

Check to see if either caliper is dragging, and that the piston is not pitted. This is very common on the Nissan.

You can get remanufactured calipers for about $60 apiece. It's not that expensive.
