The pads I replaced were very bad. From looking at the pads on the outsides of the rotors before I replaced them the brakes looked like they had plenty of life left to them. But hit the brakes and they made a God-awful metal to metal sound in the car. When we took them off the outer pads had about 1/8" of pad and the inner pads (engine side of the rotor) had NOTHING. They were down to the rivets. It is entirely possible my calipers are failing. I also get a fairly extreme tug to the right while coming to a stop light. I have to fight the steering wheel to stay straight. Money is very tight right now so can they be rebuilt? Or am I better off getting new ones?
