Last summer my son and I put new front brake pads in his 89 Cavalier. About a 
month ago the passenger side started grinding... Only about 8K miles on the 
pads. We stuck some more new ones on... The driver's side pads were fine! 
Friday he says that something is making noises in the front and he thinks the 
brakes are doing it. I take a look and BOTH sides are metal on metal!!! WTFIU???

We will have to do rotors this time with new pads. Any ideas as to why the pads 
wore out so quickly. I figure the calipers must be sticking but why now all of 
a sudden? Do you think the hoses are English and swell up causing pressure to 
hold the pistons out?

Perplexed,
