RE: @nolnocluap's What Upsets Me About Series - #1: Modern Car "Servicing"
Many times I have seen the wear indicator just on one pad. If the sliding pins don't function correctly you may have uneven pad wear which could result with the metal pad backing coming into contact with your rotor and ruining it. It is always good practice to keep an eye on the pad wear once or 2x/year.
Happy motoring;D
Hi @john89. I completely agree. It's quite common to have asymmetrical wear for any number of reasons and relying on the wearinator (I thought I'd throw in a trendy term to give this reply some sparkle) is a fall back at best.
What I did learn is that delegating out maintenance can't be relied upon so sadly these checks will still need to be conducted by me I suppose. Happy motoring to you too!
Very true and i check mine about once a month or so.
