huhhh? They should be the same. The only thing I can think of is the PO bought two sets of different pads, somehow mixed up the pieces in a big pile, and put them on. The only thing I can think of that would cause it is different manufacturers may shape the shoes different and use different pad thicknesses.

Either that or one side is wearing faster than the other. <--- probably this

ooooh that makes more sense. The LONGER one goes towards the back, the shorter one is the front (primary) shoe.

They should only be able to be installed on the adjuster one way though...

Gotta figure most bf goodrich tires in 31 sell for about 175 new. So less then 500 miles for 400, sounds like a good deal. Personally I don't like bf goodrich tires. Only cause they don't like snow and ice even though there designated mountain tires lol. But thats a good deal bud. Just my 2 cents

Is this on the passenger side of your motor? Looks like it could be the actutor that opens and closes your vents in the jeep.

If its unplugged you will have a check engine light and your gas tank won't vent.
