Those bearing rear brakes they dont really bed as goood as front brakes. But if nothing is seized. Slide pins lubricated. Everything is tight. And it’s quiet. I would give it some more time for the west to even out. Also if your experiencing shaking while you’re braking you may need to go ahead and replace the front as well.

Okay! Thanks for the thoughts. I basically ruled out the front as they were replaced within the last 12 months. I can def take a look at them though. One thing I noticed putting the pads in is that one set of clips was wedged tight in the seat and one pad did not have much play. I hypothesize that this is causing the wear pattern on the driver side but I haven't had any real issues other than the shuddering.

Just because the fronts were replaced in the last 12 months doesn't mean they can't be the cause of your shudder. That's plenty of time to do bad things to them. A brake vibration or shudder is almost always the front axle in my experience.

Sorry, autocorrect changed bedded to needed in my post. I did some minimal bedding with the brakes.

There is a bedding in procedure that will wear the pads into the rotors quicker, depending on your driving habits it may take 200-300 miles for the wear to even out. Bedding in the brakes will provide full stopping power right away by making sure the surfaces are worn correctly and making full contact.

You'll feel front break vibration in the steering wheel. You'll feel rear in your ass. Do a pretty hard stop or two it should be easy to tell when you feel for it
