Some issue is causing my brake pads and rotors to wear at an increasing rate an unevenly . I looked at my brackets and they are very uneven and slanted. i I had the bearings replaced, as well as my housing and axels checked, was told that they were fine. Yet my caliper brackets still won't align correctly and are slanted. I'm no rear end expert but always had the brackets aligned and straight in my other mustang

Are your calipers sticking? And are the brackets on the wrong side? Also do you have others you could look at to compare?

Calipers are not sticking out, but the bracket seems to be in a slanted. Everything was put on right . I'll try to snap some pics later on today
It's an 03 cobra with a SRA swap from a 03 Mach 1 housing

I got a question. When you say they wear out quickly are they wearing evenly or slanted? Also do you have a pro portioning valve? If so maybe it's adjusted a lot so your rear brakes are working a little to hard causing them to wear quickly

They are wearing slanted and unevenly, the worst is coming from the passenger rear. I changed the pads not even 1000 miles ago and the passenger side is already worn almost completely. Something is causing it to overheat quickly on that side which is damaging my pad and rotor. I also just discover a weird " clunk" noise now coming from that side as if the wheel is locking and dragging. also I do not have the pro valve [ 2013-05-19, 12:24 PM: Message edited by: cpthowdy ]

Still has C clips? Check the groove, clip, and diff pin.

Let me know if you want me to swing by and check I out for you. What Area of Stockton are you in ? Pull the caliper off and check the slide pins, VERY possible one or both is sticking. The other thing coiled be the rear pressure causing the majority of braking. But doesn't explain uneven wear, but the pins could.

That guy does good work and is cheap. He has also been there for years.
