Default brake pad wearing

I have a question I think I already know the answer to but just want to see if anyone else has input...I changed my front pads this weekend and my passenger sides pads were almost gone (probably about an 1/8" still left) but the drivers side was only about a 1/4 used (almost still brand new). I think it is the caliper but I do not notice when stepping on the brakes it pulling to the passengers side.

Sohas anyone else had this problem?

(All info in sig)

its probably just not releasing and the pads are dragging. Check your lines too and make sure they didnt collape and hold some fluid pressure. But most likely its the caliper.

So you are thinking the passenger side is not releaseing...I was thinking it was the drivers side not engaging.
