More investigation - weird brake wear on front driver side
Ok - so after a night on the internet I now know more about vacuum brake servos than I ever thought I'd ever have to.....
Before I start pulling the front of the car off, and potentially spend a fortune on a new brake booster, I'm going to go back over the new disc/pad install. However before I got to that, I took a look at the old discs/pads. One of the old front discs has no wear over 10mm of the outer, and the pad has a corresponding groove (shown in pics). The other front is worn right to the edge.
I've had the car for 45,000 miles and never touched the brakes (2 main dealer services and no mention from them), but this looks odd. Could it be a twisted caliper? I'm wondering if this could be causing the excess travel (and hopefully the wheeze from the servo)
