Yes! There is! At least on a 2002 Montana! It cost me $110.00 to find this out the hard way. If you change your calipers, take extreme care to put the new ones on the same way the old ones came of. It has to do with the height of the bleeder screw, believe it or not. If you get them on the wrong side, you can't bleed all the air out. Nobody told me this when I bought the new ones. Be careful!

Why does the front right brake wear out faster?

The right front brake probably has a bad caliper. The calipers hold and move the brake pads . If the right caliper has a stuck piston , the pressure will not be the same as the left side. And, the piston on the caliper may not be returning to it's correct position causing pressure to stay on the pad . You can verify that by driving the car and compare the temperature of the right wheel to the left wheel. If the right is considerably hotter, there is a problem with the caliper. BE CAREFUL....BRAKES GET HOT!!!!!

Why does the brake pull strongly to the right?

this genereally means that the left front caliper is siezed. if it pulls to the right then your right side is working fine, its the left you need to worry about. as a rule when it comes to brakes, what you do to one side you do to the other. so if you replace the left caliper, then i would suggest to do both of them. and don't forget to bleed the brakes.
