Brake pads low again

[amwent]

I have found that when replacing the pads the calipers seem to be closing unevenly. Does anyone know what could be the problem without having to sacrifice my first born to the dealer for payment? I was thinking it may be the corrosion in the fluid line, but then again I am not a mechanic? Help if you can. Thanks

I did a rear disk brake conversion on my malibu and it has cut down significantly on the brake wear....better stopping power too.

The left caliper, the NEW one that was recently replaced on the 98 Malibu is still doing the same thing the bad one did, rock unevenly back and forth when working, and the right one does the same. Unfortunately, this 98 baby gets warped rotors because of the bad calipers and that stinks! When I replace the pads (ceramic since last pad replacement) and rotors again, which will be soon, I am switching to slotted rotors, the heat will not be so high from the calipers, so the warping will not be so evident. Course, I would love to junk this piece of GM crap ... if only I had another car ... sigh!


HMMMM, if the calipers are inherently bad ... well, there just might be everybody's excessive pad/warped rotor wear explanation ... GM, you reading these posts, by any chance? YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD!
