Default Irregular front brake pad wear

Well this isnt the first time it has happened. I changed both pads and bleed front. I took out the caliper that wasnt breaking the same as the other and push the pistons in and out and seemed to function fine. Now the one side has maybe a 1/4 of the pad left and the right has almost a full pad. What should i do?

must type small posts... I bet that caliper is bad. Happend on my truck this winter. It wouldn't release all the way when I let off the pedal. Couldn't notice it when I drove, cuz its got a V8 pushin it, and already gets $hitty mileage.

anywho, when I tried to take it off, it was tighter than turtle *****, and that ****s water tight!!! Bought a new caliper for $30, and everything's been good since. If its stickin kinda hard when you try to take it off, that could be the problem.

after getting good answers... I'll give mine.

It's because you prefer turning one way better than the other... what you need to do is turn the other way equally... or swap the pads from side to side
