What is the issue with this.... I gather you are saying that your brake pads are wearing unevenly. If you have sliders and slider bushings, they must be properly lubricated and must move freely Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 The only way that can happen is if the pad is bent, but the backing plate is pretty thick steel so I cannot imagine it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanlongmire24 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 they are not bent but do you have any possible solution. I was thinking maybe just maybe it needs a rotor could a wapred rotor or bent one cause it.... Also when I hit the brakes they make a noise like a grinding but the pads are new in the middle just on the corners of both pads are ate away.... Any help or advise I would highly appreciate it.....

Ranger Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Have you looked at a set of new pads? They are beveled at the leading and trailing edge. Is that what you are talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanlongmire24 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 yes that is what i ment i just put new ones on and new rotors but the old ones were worn down all the way at them points like that is only part of the brake pad that was being used.
