I am stumped! My front passenger brake pads are wearing down to the metal every 7 days or so. I only put a few hunderd miles on them during that time. I have done the following trying to fix this problem.

I have replaced both front calipers
I replaced the rubber part of the brake hose on the passenger side.
I have bleed the brakes.


What could be causing the brake pads to wear out on only one tire (front passenger) after only one week?

 

Check to see if you have a load sensing brake thingy on your rear axle that goes up to the Proportioning valve. My initial guess would be that.

I just rebuilt my entire brake system on my Trekker like 2 weeks ago and learned a TON about how these systems work.

More details please

Interesting. A load sensor on the rear axle would affect just the passenger front brake? Seems strange but I will look into it. I considered the proportioning valve but havent done anything with it since it is just the one wheel and leaving the proportioning valve, one line goes to the front and one line goes to the rear.

 

Maybe the brake you are fixing is the only one that is working......could it be that the drivers side is stuck open/disengaged, however 7days does make it seem that the left front brake is hung or damn near locked 24/7 you might try pulling the brake line off the brake and capping that then drive a very short distance at a very low speed to see if the rest of your brakes are infact working.....from new pad to metal in 7 days that should be generating enough heat to have the rotor glowing red you might want to check the wheel bearing also.
