Question about 2.2 brakes.

I looked at my front brakes today and noticed that the inside pad seems a lot smaller than the outside. This was only on the driver side passenger side didnt look as obvious. But the inside of the rotor was worn about an 1/8th inch deep and the outside edge looked as if it is wearing on something. Is this normal or is my front brake messed up?

This happens sometimes. If there was something wrong with the caliper, it would be a seized caliper. You would only know that this is the case when you go to compress the piston back into the caliper. Make sure when you do the brake job that you clean off the sliding pins and put a good grease and lube them up well so they are able to move freely with no issues.
