Rear Brakes Pad Problems
Hello, I have had to change my rear break pads 3 times in the last year because the rear outboard pads have just been wearing away. At first I thought it was the ceramic/fibrous part delaminating from the backing plate but after it happening 3 times in a year I am starting to think that it has something to do with how I am re-assembling the rear brakes. I am fairly good with the wrench and followed the DIY brake pad replacement thread in the Mod forum. Has anyone else had this problem or have an idea as to what is going wrong here.

The pad wear looks totally uneven between inboard and outboard pads. The outboard pads are down to the backing plates. The rotors are a little scarred but not worth trashing over. I am thinking it has to do with the float of the caliper but I'm not sure what is causing it.
