    This document provides a pad wear chart to help diagnose problems with disc brake calipers. The chart lists different patterns of pad wear, such as an outboard pad wearing faster or tapered wear, and identifies the likely causes, such as issues with the caliper slides or bushings. The chart is intended to help technicians determine if a caliper truly needs replacing or if the underlying problem, like faulty mounting hardware, needs to be addressed instead.

    Pad Wear Chart Helps Diagnose Caliper Problems

    Application: Problem: Cause: Solution:


    All vehicles equipped with disc brakes. Uneven or rapid pad wear blamed on defective caliper.

    Defective mounting hardware or faulty installation may be the actual problem. Before replacing a caliper use the wear guide charts below to help diagnose pad wear.

    Wear pattern: Outboard pad worn. Cause: Caliper slides or mounting pins not functioning properly.

    Wear Pattern: Tapered wear - horizontally or vertically. Cause: Worn caliper bushings or defective mounting hardware.

    Wear Pattern: Cracked lining, chipped friction edges or fast wear. Cause: Excessive heat build-up due to constant friction caused by faulty brake hoses, brake pedal or booster misadjustment, or mounting hardware. Wear Pattern: Grooves in the surface of friction material. Cause: Rotors should be turned or replaced.

    Wear Pattern: Step in lining. Cause: Pads improperly installed. Inspect installation, check for defective mounting hardware, and replace as necessary.

    Normal Wear Pattern: CARDONE loaded calipers, good rotors and proper installation insure long service life.
