99 Accent front brake question

Jody is suggesting that you will work your front brakes harder if your rear brakes are loose. It's worth checking.

Did you change brand or model of brake pad? That will be a large factor.

Have you changed your driving habits or is there another driver spending significant time in the vehicle? I had a customer once whose brakes wore much faster after her son got his license.

It's not that. The problem is twofold. The rotors are chewed badly and I need to replace them. What I was wondering is if there are other issues as the outboard pad on the driver's side weard much faster than th rest. I picked up rotors and started to install them but when I figured out how many special tools I need to buy or fabricate I have about decided it is more than I want to get into. The brake design is such that I would think hard and long before buying another vehicle with that kind of design. Right now I bought another set of pads and will change just the bad one to buy time while I figure out what to do next. When I asked AUtozone about bearings they quoted me a rediculous price for a preassembled hub. Ithink I will go see just what that consists of. If it's the whole assembly with rotors the price will look much more reasonable. I will also ask the dealer what it would cost to just get the rotors replaced but will probably get hassled.

Found the problem with why the pad is wearing - one of the slide pins is binding so the pad is not retracting away from the disk properly. I freed it up with wd40 and neverseize but will replace the whole assembly next week. When I took it out I could feel the difference in the way the car ran.
