uneven brake pad wear suspension problem?

[cmz829]

i got a 95 atx and it is due for inspection. my front left wheel has some problems. when i went for my alignment shop told me lca , bearing and hub. well i replaced my pads not that long ago cause they started grinding and when i changed the pads the i believe top pad had nothing left and the bottom was maybe 30 percent. i highly suspect that this is from a collision that occured on that side. also when i have my window down and go over a dip in the road it sounds almost like a creaky floor board. could the lca cause all these problems?

i went to the car wash a few days ago after a few miles of driving and proceded to clean my car when the rotor got sprayed with water it steamed but only that wheel

Sounds like sticky slider pins, or caliper cylinder.

Problems with brakes on Taurui are many, replace parts with new and you'll be good to go. Rear brakes should also be checked. They tend to be more problematic than the fronts.

what parts should i replace? and how can i tell if that is the problem?

Which pad is the top pad and which is the bottom pad? There's a pad on each side of the disk...

Sounds like a dragging caliper on that side, i.e., it's not releasing all the way.

The caliper sits on slider pins, it sounds like they may need to be serviced or replaced. If that side has been damaged, maybe the bracket, too. Get somebody competent with brakes to look at it...that's something that needs to be corrected.
