Can anyone give a suggestion as to why one pad of a disk-brake
system would wear *significantly* more than the pad on the other
side of the rotor. I mean, the worn pad is about one-half the
thickness of the "un-worn" pad. Might it have anything to do with
the possibility that the rotor seems to be "out-of-true" (analogous
to "out-of-round" in drum brakes)? The pads on the other side of the
car are wearing quite evenly.

Please mail responses to me; I haven't had much time lately to read
net.auto and I don't want to risk missing your response.

Than you very much.
