Inside wore faster

There's two common reasons the inside wears faster:
1) The slides are severely siezed to where the caliper piston can't overcome them, which makes the inside pad do all the work. Probably not the case here since you would have noticed stuck sliders when you changed the pads.
2) The inner pad is getting stuck in the arbor. So when the caliper releases, the pad is still riding up against the rotor.
.... and then any combination of the two with varying severity.
The remedy is to (if you haven't already done so) clean the arbor and slides really well and regrease. Upon assembly make sure that the pads can move freely in the arbor and that the caliper moves freely (side to side) when both slides are attached. NOTE: that last step is important. I've seen many instances where the slides move freely on their own, but once the caliper is installed the assembly "jams"... this is normally caused by damage; either the arbor or the caliper get tweaked from an impact which throws off the parallelism of the slides/caliper so the assembly can't move freely.
On Sunday, Jan 8, I dropped the trans pan to fix a tiny leak from the gasket. Put in new filters while I was in there. Filled with fresh fluid. She sure does move nice with fresh lube!

I'm sure these comments make at least a few of you snicker!

You know the rules...Pics or it didn't happen.
I had her oil changed and filled her washer fluid. While it was up on the lift we were able to assess the failed bushings on the RR shocks. Found out they were leaking too. They've only been on for about 3500 miles too.
