Uneven Disk Wear

Hi,
Brand new on here so forgive me if protocol is not met !
I have a 4.4 l322 and have just had it into my local garage as I had a grinding coming from the front Drivers disk.

Once examined the disk has worn 50% more on the inside than the outside (requiring new disks) Other side is the same but no grinding

My question is, is this normal or is there something else I should be looking at ?

Thanks

Just changed them on my disco, and it was the same story. With the old trw calipers the piston acts on the back of the disc and through the calipers mounting sliders also clamps the front, it will by virtue of the design apply more force to the back side of the disc hence the higher wear rate. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Could possibly be sticking pistons?!

I have found that the inside break pad always wears faster than the outside. I put it down to the fact that that's the side of the caliper the fluid enters, so probably has a slightly greater pressure than the outside, after the fluid has passed through the caliper veins.

Don't quote me though or shoot the 'messenger'!!!!!
