After much work on the brakes of my Suburban, including new calipers and pads, I had just accepted the fact that the drivers' side pads wear out faster than the passenger side pads. New calipers ruled out sticking. I now have a new master cyclinder that works great and I can lock up all four wheels, but there's a slight steer to the driver's side in a skid indicating that side is working harder. Always been that way.
So yesterday I was helping my son with a variety of projects on his '94 Suburban. Completed Feed The Beast install, fixed the heater line leak deleting the POS quick disconnect and installed new brake pads and completely flushed the brake fluid. While doing so, observed that the driver's side brake pads had more wear than the passenger side, just like my '99 Suburban. My son was asking why. In said I didn't know. His truck stops normally. Anyone know?
Oh and after doing the FTB mod which was to address a presumed diesel leak there, he still has the diesel leak coming down passenger side of engine. It's dripping off the torque converter housing and the starter. I told him to check all the return lines.
