On my 02' F150 reg. cab 4X4 - seems the inside pad on both pass. and driver sides are wearing out before the outside ones.....is this normal?, thoughts?

ive noticed that on my 97 as well. i just did my brakes last week. my inner pads were maybye a few milimeters more worn than outers. the brakes still worked great. just make sure you seat the new pads after you install them. gradual stops up to id say 30 mph. also make sure you grease your caliper pins good.

also, you may want to clean the rust off the caliper brackets, and put a dab of grease on the part that the caliper slides on. sometimes the rust buildup can cause the caliper to hang up and wear the inside pad out more that the outer

Seems typical, mine I'd swear wear the same as your's. Do make sure like buddy said to grease, I use antisieze, on your sliders.
