Rear pad wear

Had to have my rear pads and rotors replaced as they started to grind :?

I put the oem back on for now, but may look at the increased size AmD rears...

Anyway, my question relates to the uneven wear. The pad on the rear of the rotor (both sides) has hardly worn at all, but yet the pad on the front of the rotor has worn down to the metal... is this normal or is the caliper in need of repair/replacement/etc.

This suggests sticking calipers... the wear should be even on both pads down to 3mm which is replacement point.

The calipers should slide freely on the guide pins... which clearly they haven't been.

see here for replacement procedure
