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!!!!!

What will happen if you just use the front brake to stop?
The front brake pads will wear faster, and the rear brake may eventually seize due to not being used.
Can a leaking breake hose cause uneven wear of the breake pads?
Yes, if it's a hose going directly to a caliper. If right front hose is leaking, then when you apply the brake, the right front capiler will get less pressure causing the left front to have 'normal' pressure making the vehicle to pull to the left. Since the left side has more pressure, the pads will wear faster .....

How often should I get a brake job on my car?
There is no set mileage which tells you when to get new brake pads. Wear on the brake pads depend on various factors, most importantly the braking habits of the driver. Front brakes wear out faster the the rear brakes. If there is a noise when you brake or you feel grinding, then you should bring your vehicle to the mechanic.
Why the front wheels of tractors are tilted?
So it can wear out the outer tread faster thus causing faster front tire wear which will help to sell more front tires.
What causes front brake pads to wear faster?
On front disc rear drum vehicle , there is a metering valve to delay the disc brake operation until the rear drum brake shoes overcome the return spring tension . Without the metering valve , the front brake pads will contact with the disc too quickly when the driver apply the brake pedal .A fauty metering valve will cause front brake pads premature wear out . Some vehicle the metering valve housing in one assembly with pressure differential valve and proportioning valve called combination valve .
Why did the back disc break wear out before front?
For starters, there's not as much material there so theoretically it would take less time to wear out. Depending on the brake bias on your car, rear rotors will likely wear faster than front ones; if your auto manufacturer set a high rear brake bias - so as to reduce nose dive under braking - the rear brakes see more wear than usual and can easily wear down before the front brakes do. Also, if you accidentally drive around with your parking brake on, that'll wear down your rear brakes too.
What would cause constant squeeling noise from front right wheel well?
Brake pads wear indicator (replace brake pads)? Bad wheel bearing? Low tire?
Does the front left or front right brake pads wear out first?
The front right pad is completely worn. The left pad looks to have at least 65% of the pad left. The car does pull to the right a lot as well. Needs an alignment. Not sure if it's related.
