I think this is my first post here, so hello.

Our 2010 Tahoe seems to be going through rear pads/rotors often. Since I took possession at around 75K, the rear pads have been replaced @ 85K, pads and rotors @ 105K, and I just did pads and rotors @ 123K. The recent job is the first one I have done, myself. The right rear pads were GONE - metal on metal (wife drives it 99.99% of the time). The left side had some pad left.

I have a two-fold question: Is this atypical wear? To be fair, she's a great driver overall - not a last minute heavy brake user. What could cause the uneven side-to-side wear? I am thinking caliper pins, and am considering replacing them with new ones lubed with the proper synthetic grease.

I do not have the life/change interval for the front at hand, will need to find it - that might be relevant for the discussion.

Thoughts Appreciated.
