The pad wear is from a sticking caliper or slides
I would remove the caliper
take the slides apart - clean them real well and lube
and bleed that caliper
See if that makes a difference - if no - then it will need a caliper

This bulletin is being revised to change the content from Informational to Technical. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-05-23-005A (Section 05 - Brakes).
<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1336875&evc=numSrch#ss1-1336875">Condition
Some customers and dealers may comment on accelerated rear brake wear on some of the above listed vehicles. This condition occurs mainly on the right rear inboard brake pads and on vehicles that are exposed to extensive off-paved roads.
<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1336875&evc=numSrch#ss2-1336875">Correction
Install a mud flap forward of each rear wheel using the following procedure. Installation of these mud flaps and following the recommended off-road driving information provided in the vehicle's Owner's Manual should greatly reduce the possibility of accelerated rear brake component wear.
Important
Always work from outboard to inboard, drilling one hole at a time and securing with a fastener. Follow the sequence of the procedure. This will prevent distortion of the mud flap.
