ek4 brakes rear brakes wearing unevenly help

[philyum]

i got told i should put in a sway bar to balance this out but theres stuff that i search about sub frames are they the same thing ? do i have to buy it as set to install or i can just put a sway bar into the stock suspension.

Rear sway bar and rear subframe brace are suspension component and they got nothing to do with your rear brake system.

Wearing uneven from caliper to caliper or wearing uneven on each caliper?, ie 1 pad wearing more then the other pad? If the later, then a caliper rebuild might be a good idea.

[EG5]

Did you apply grease on the caliper slider when you install your pads?

[u mad?]

So how are your pads wearing? t

[philyum]

well basically my rear pads 1 side is wearing heaps more then the other side
i took it to the mechanics to get it changed " brake pads" but im assuming so that they would grease it?

he was like cos of the uneven wear i could get new bushes put in but its too expensive and he said the other alternative was to put a sway bar?

[philyum]

how does greasing that make a difference?

[EKVTIR-T]

how does greasing that make a difference?if they werent grease well maybe they got seize and the caliper cant let go properly

so it would wear the pad more ??

You're mechanic is taking you for a ride if he's talking about brakes and swaybars having a connection with uneven pad wear...

what the hell does a sway bar have to do with this? i think the mechanic trying to take u for a ride bro.
Caliper wont release, and may stick causing excessive/uneven wear if it wasn't greased (and if wrong grease used will just melt)

watch my vid i posted, even though its for front caliper, it will give u some basic insight of whats what.

Take it to someone else that actually knows the difference between suspension and brakes... They can help you sort out the issue...
