[QUOTE="virtualmystic, post: 363147, member: 5576"] Get your brakes checked out as soon as possible! The reason the brake pads have worn unevenly is because the floating mechanism that i mentioned is sticky.....therefore one pad wears out before the other. The non floating pad now has to move too much (taking up too much fluid in the cylinder) before it makes contact with the disc. For ventilated front disc, the minimum disc thickness is 20mm. The minimum thickness AFTER skimming is 20.4mm. So absolute minimum is 20mm. I suggest you replace the disc and pads together. PM me if you wish for me to assess your brakes. [/QUOTE]
