SO I had my stock pads changed @ 33000 miles, I replaced the stock with Hawl HPS pads.
But I asked for the old pads back , and on the drivers side pad (Inside pad, Instide the wheel well pad) The stock pad is gone..really nothing there at all.
The other side (passenger side) is fine...there's still a little pad left.
Any ideas why the in'er drivers side pad would wear alot more than the passenger side?
I think it may have to do with the fact that the car was hit.. Small hit, like 2 miles per hour...but still ..HIT. and the shop that repaired it didn't care to much about doing doing a GOOD Job.
It sucks... t's been about 8 months since the repairs and I'm hearing snaping noises when I turn and my head light just died today...all on that same side it was hit.

And does anyone know the size of the E-brake adjustment nut? I need to adjust my E-brake
(I don't think the guys at the shop cared) But I don't know what size the nut is. I have 2 deep socket kits (about 20 sockets in each kit) and not one socket fits the nut.

It should be just a metric size for the adjustment nut.

The manual doesn't specify to use a special size or anything...

No ..no warranty.....Got it done at a local brake place. had them install the hawk pads and flush the fluid.
Since it wasn't there pads...theres no warranty.

I was going to let the dealer do it, but they wanted 175 an axle...so 350 and some change to switch out the pads on all 4 corners.
I'll find the nut to fit the bolt and next time.....I'm doing my own brake work. But yeah..no warranty on the pad install.

But the body shop that fixed the front of the car after it was hit offers a lifetime warranty on there work...and the car is still under warranty at the dealership...so I just have to decide who I should take the car too...the dealership? or the body shop?
And just tell them..."hey....weird noises comming from the front left suspension..please fix"only mod I have to the suspension is a rear Eibach sway bar.....which I will remove before taking the car in
