I had a friend at Les Scwab Tires check the brake linings, and he thought they looked fine, and were equal on both sides...I then went back to the dealership,and asked what was up with the measurements, and it was apparently a nine, and not a six, so it seems all is well with my brake pads.

It was done at the local dealership. The information was on one of their forms, it only has a line for one measurement per brake..I'm guessing the are the same??

Thanks fellas..Im gonna go back to the dealer, see what they say, and I'm going to go to a local tire and brake company I do business with and get a second opinion..I'll let you know what I find out..I take it the sticking caliper is not uniquie to the 4-runner?

I just had my 10000 mile maintenance check, and I mentioned a squeaking brake issue. The linings show 9mm front left, and 6mm front right. The rears are both at 7mm. Is the different measurements on the front linings normal? 80% of my driving has been on the highway. Seems odd to me.
