Brake Disc Pads Problems of Mercury Grand Marquis

Both front inner brakes not properly contacting rotor. Only a 1 inch width of inner brake pads have ever contacted rotor. Based upon the amount of rust and pitting of the non contact area of the rotors it appears that the brake pads were never contacting properly. In all my years of servicing vehicles I have never seen this type of defect before.
