I started having brake noise a while back and figured it was time for new pads so purchased some. I removed the wheels and took a good look at the pads and they looked fine so put everything back together.

The noise just got WORSE and WORSE. These were the stock pads and I figured they were done for with only 24,000 miles. Anyway, I was surprised as they look to be half or a little more the thickness of the new pads. They certainly didn't look like they were about done for and ready to start grinding down the rotors.

The backing on one of the pads was loose and I wonder if that was the problem. The new pads are on so I certainly wouldn't reinstall the old ones but was just curious.
