Default Re: **UPDATE to 08 Accord needing new brakes at 27K Miles

Uneven wear would lead you to think the caliper pins, which are easy
to fix - properly clean and lube them.

But given the common nature of this problem I wonder if the parking-
brake-in-calipers were the source of the problem. Maybe Honda needs a
different manufacturer for the rear calipers?

If the brakes were used heavily, then why don't the fronts wear out
sooner? Sounds like the district manager was feeding you crap still.
