My 2008 RWD is250 just had brake pads replaced. Mechanic says the front calipers aren't compressing the brake pads equally. He suggested new calipers. Looking through old posts, I'm not seeing a lot of complaints about front calipers. I'm thinking he may have done something wrong when he changed out the pads. Any suggestions before I order the calipers? Thanks.

 

If he didn't clean and replace the grease in the slide pins as well as bleed the brakes at all four corners, they/he could be a hack. I'd be concerend. Get as many details about what actual work was done.

OP /edit for clarity.

At this stage, it honestly should have had rebuilt calipers.

 

I’ll get details and post. I have no idea if the calipers were replaced previously, but I doubt it. We have only had the car a year and a half. I did many things though like oxygen sensors, spark plugs, engine coils, all the little plastic clips that hold these things on. When I changed the cabin air filter it was almost black. I don’t think it was kept too well after the original owner.
