the pad is too small for the size of the vehicle Gm fixed this problem in 06 they switched back to drums on the rear. maybe try a ceramic pad it might last longer

92 K is a lot of miles on the front pads. If your on gravel or dirt, try a controlled panic stop and see which tires lock up first. If your front breaks don't lock up first, it may be a proportioning valve.
