I have 2003 Chevy Blazer and over 130,000 miles on it. For a while, it sounded like occasionally that my low brake indicator were making a noice. From the rear. Not all the time. Replaced brake pads and rotors like over 15,000 miles ago. It really becomes strong when I turn to the right. ANy ideas what that is?

How do you know when to consider the caliber. I thinking my passenger rear wheel is where the problem is. The one pad got worn down to nothing before even the front pads. I sometime smell a burnt smell at that wheel after driving.

if the pads are wearing down fast and you can smell burnt brakes you probably have a stuck piston in the caliper next time you have the burnt smell jack it up off the ground and try to turn the wheel by hand if there is any resistance the caliper is stuck and you will need a new one

Looking into replacing the dust covers, I saw the parts are not expensive, but getting them replaced is quite the process. Is it ok to let go till the next brake work? Could I be letting worse happen if I do?
