Left rotor worn more than right rotor

Cause could be any number of things, best option is to just extend the warranty if possible. The most likely cause i could think of left/ right brake imbalance is:

Cause could be any number of things, best option is to just extend the warranty if possible.

The most likely cause i could think of left/ right brake imbalance is:
- Wrapped disc on either side
- Clogged brake hose on either side
- Different disc used on either side
- Different pads used on either side
- Jammed caliper pistons on either side
- Bad wheel alignment
- Bad camber adjustment
- Bad bearing slack adjustment

Bad wheel alignment has nothing to do with the rotor.
Bad camber adjustment has nothing to do with the rotor.
The bearings are unit bearing. So there is no adjustment on them. But if the unit bearing s starting to go bad. It could cause some isses.
