Default Brake pad rubbing rotor - all the time

Anyone have trouble with a pad continually wearing out? Out of the 4 pads on the front, right and left pad on each side, only one seems to rub. If put high temp brake grease wear appropriate including the set screws but I have to keep changing that one pad (and of coursethe others at the same time). It's driving me crazy.

Wife's vehicle:
1998 Dodge Caravan with the level 1 concevience package (cruise, electronic outside mirrir adjustments and tilt).

Mine: 2003 Ram Hemi Quad tow & 4x4 package

Almost sounds like a caliper problem. I don't know how the brake system on the 1998's are set up but you might want to look into that. Also get the rotors checked for thickness and warping.

it is your flex hose. it collapses inside ( can't see it physically) and the brake fluid doesn't release. Change it and have a good day.

Could either be a sticking caliper or a colapsing line. Either one can be a fairly common thing. Hard to say whicj it is without observing it.
