Took my 2007 Expedition Eddit Bauer to the tire shop today for my "free" rotation after putting new rubber on a few months ago. Have 58,000 miles on original brake pads.
Upon inspection, Front pads were between 40 and 50% and look great. Rear outer pad was low, but still not terrible (maybe 30% remaining) and do need changing. However, on BOTH rear wheels, the inner pad was either down so low you could hardly see it, or in the case of drivers side, nearly down to the backing plate. I was told within a few hundred miles, I'd have had grinding or worse.
Bizzare thing is there was no noise, squeek, or anything else. recommendation was to change rear pads, rotors, and calipers. With this much asymetry on the pad wear, will just changing the calipers do it? Anyone seen this behavior on a 2007? I've never seen this nasty of uneven pad wear on any vehicle I've ever had. Mechanic feels changing the calipers will fix it, but with all of the ASC, and ABS, and everything else on these beasts, could it be something more sinister than just a the rear calipers that aren't releasing correctly?
