Unusual Front Passenger brake wear
Hello,
I have an 04 RS and since I got it I have been having trouble with my right(passenger) front locking up first whenever I brake. Especially if I have to do a quick brake in the rain. I have seen that the right front pads wear faster than the left front. And also that the inner pad on the right front wears faster than the outer pad. The rotor is also worn more on the inside face.
I also noticed recently that the left(driver side) rear pad was wearing quicker than the right rear. So I am leaning towards the master cylinder being defective. Possibly not allowing all the pressure to be released from that diagonal circuit and thus wearing the right front down and keeping the right front hot so that it will have a much better inital bite than the left front.
Has anybody seen something similar?
