Well according to the POs paper work the caliper was replaced 40,000 +/- miles ago and the pads are like 17, miles in? I just took the rotors to be turned because they neeeded it anyways? Should I change the pads they look crappy IDK but I was thinking of picking up the lifetime ceramic pads from autozone.

Bedding them is supposed to seat the pad to the rotor, but I've never bothered. Hasn't made a difference that I've noticed.

A couple things to check:
The knuckle ledges where the edge of the pads sit (see drawing below)- are they smooth? Not rough or notched? Pads have to be able to slide on that ledge. After some miles they can develop a notch the pads catch on.
Does the caliper itself slide without sticking or binding?
How are the rubber brake lines? Sometimes they flake inside and create a one-way valve that holds the caliper.

The knuckle ledges look good, is there a good way to check the brake lines I think that if it had a blockage like that it would stick when I depress the brake all the way, which it doesnt it just doesnt seem to reset to the proper location.
