Question Uneven brake pad wear!

Hi guys... when changing stock front brake pads on Brembo brake I have noticed that LHS inside was completly wear out and the rest of the pads were ok (more than 6mm of friction pad still avalaible). Is there anyone who had the same problem?: Do you know how to solve this issue?
Thx

I have had similiar problems with the inside pad on front as well as rear. Although I have the non-brembo set up. It improved when I removed the "dust shield" from the inside. It acts like a heat sink and cooks the inside pad, better cooling = even pad wear.

Yes, Brembo equiped cars have a dust shield as well behind the rotor, it is just a bigger shield. Someone posted pics of how to cut them off with tin snips.

GENERICALLY: Usually the result of uneven pressure, dirty bores, or dirty seals......warped wobbly rotors on inside vs outside of rotor.

If it was a shield the effects would show up on both front or rear.

Over 16 years the RFinner and LRinner seem to wear more on Nisssan/Infiniti.
