Hi All!

Finally got around to doing my '89 420SEL's brakes yesterday evening. I noted with surprise that, of the 4 rear pads, one exhibited significantly more wear than the others.

Old pads were Pagid, calipers are ATE. Rotor on the questionable wheel was okay--no obvious uneven erosion (still about 50% life remaining).

I've noticed no irregular symptoms (i.e uneven tire wear, pulling to one side, poor braking), so I suspect it's just a fluke. On the other hand, it is the brakes we're talking about here, so I figure it's a question worth asking...

Anyone have any ideas about what would cause this sort of asymmetrical pad wear within a 126's dual caliper?

Thanks!
