Inside Pax rear brake had about 1mm pad left, but all other rear pads had 3mm. Calipers guide pins are greased and was moving freely, everything else looks normal. Funny thing, the driver side calipers pin wasn't fully greased, but didn't have uneven wear. Hmm, what can it be? 3 years -30,000 miles since last brake job with first rotor change.
 
Its gotta be a binding up caliper piston usually they develop a rusty residue on the side where the boot is when they get old & when you compress them back in that binds up against the seal and causes the caliper to stay frozen alittle causing uneaven wear. Only way to fix that would be to pop the pistons out & wire brush em & then pop them back in. Could Also aswell be an internally swollen hose on that same side.
