Hey y'all
I went to replace front pads and rotors. This is the first time I'm servicing the front pads and rotors myself on this truck. When taking it all off there was an extreme amount of uneven wear between left and right side. Passenger side the pads were basically shot with heavy deep grooves in the rotor. Drivers side pads and rotor were relatively still functional with half pad remaining. On the passenger caliper there was a crack/chip in the piston. I had to use my truck the next day so I just put the new pads and rotor on without messing with the caliper.
Now driving it there is a slight but noticeable drag in the steering towards the right side when before I could let go of the wheel and it would continue straight.
Questions: Why was there such an uneven wear in the first place? Did I always have a hanging caliper but for some reason now its causing the drag? Do I just need new calipers or replace piston?
