=============================
Test it by punching the brakes on a dirty stretch of road. More likely
you've got seized slider pins on the passenger's side, so it's wearing
that side out 100 times as fast as it's supposed to.
www.tegger.com has some info, or you could google 'honda slider pins'
and get a bunch of hits from www.hondasuv.com
