hmmm...yeah I asked because like a month ago something was making a god-awful noise outta my passenger side, took a look inside the thing and found the back pad was wore down to nothing , and a very very nice groove in the rotors, and only after driving for about 15 minutes the rotors were glowing. So bought new pads and a rotor and installed them, but realizing that there's no way my pads coulda worn down that fast and made a groove like that, I found the real culprit... My wheel bearings were busted like no other, while my truck was jacked I could literally hold the treads with my hand and wobble it about an inch or more side to side, which caused the rotor to hit all sorts of things after about 27 MPH. All it needed was a new hub assembly ($159.99+tax) and everything was back to normal.
...Don't know if that helps any. Best bet is to just jack the thing up, remove everything and inspect.
