Or one pad being clamped much more than the other on account of rust.

The primary problem with the rears is that they never get very hot, so
moisture doesn't boil off them. This means they rust like crazy.

I can't quite remember how hot the fronts got last time I checked, but the
rears only get up to about 90-100F max. I think the fronts get up to about
140-160F under normal use.
