Left Brake Rotor more worn than right

[Eyke]

My left front brake rotor is much more worn than the right.

 

There's no other symtomps like pulling to one side.

 

Dealer checked and say no caliper binding, and can't say where's the problem.

 

Any idea where the fault could be?

more left turns den right turns? lols i dunno im just guessing

[Gearoil]

Hang your car up like the cat in your avatar..and turn the wheel...do they turn with litte resistance?

 

If , like you said, if caliper is not stuck ( as in the piston getting stuck between the seal).... then pads could be stucked to caliper/piston or rust, dirt at caliper/pad/rotor contaact area could be the cause...or the pin could be the problem.

 

Btw, how much diff are the worn rotor from each other?...if it is a mere couple of mm , then it is considered normal lah!

side track. How do you tell that the left side rotor is worn out than the right?

[Gearoil]

He must have removed the wheel, have the rotor exposed and then really use a vernier caliper to measure da thickness!!

 

Who knows, he might be so obsessed with the minor difference in thickness and really removed the rotor from its mounting and placed it on a granite surface table and truly measured it up to a mere microns in difference with a height Gage!

[Eyke]

max wearable surface is only a couple of mm, so definitely a couple of mm difference.

 

using Brembo Max with slots, the left rotor's slots are almost worn down to nothing,

while the right rotor slots are still there.

could be manufacture fault..

maybe 1 out of a million.,

[Shemmy]

This brembo max is considered 1 pcs rotor, right? My rotors don't wear out evenly too. Brake pads as well one side worn, the other fine. Previously on 1 pcs rotor AP rotors. Now trying out a 2 pcs rotor kit. Hopefully that helps.

think EBD and ESP

 

they contribute

[Eyke]

my chariot only got ABS,

anyway, thanks for all the suggestions.

[Kyojin]

is your passenger considerably heavier than you are (my right front brakes produces more dust and rotors wore out faster)?

 

is your tire pressure equal?

alignment?

did they torque your tyres using a torque wrench or impact wrench?

brake proportioning valve okay?

driver side brake hose clipped/folded?

[Qr25vet]

yes that is correct...EBD is usually the main culprit since the emch said the camipers are nt binding or jammed...
