Default front left brake pad is running out faster than the right brake pad

It have been a 1 yr since I changed the front brake pads. Now the left front brake pad is much lower than the right pad. I suspect its the caliper. Do I need to spray something to the caliper to let the piston move freely? need help........

Default

it probably isn't the piston, it's the guide pins, they may be siezed.

Default Could be air in the lines on the right side, or a caliper that's sticking.

Make sure the brakes are bled properly and that all the moving parts, calipers, carriers, etc are properly lubricated.
