How does a car with a bad MAF run? Idles poorly? Less power?

Does it come on gradually or will it suddenly go bad one day?

Uneven rear-brake wear?

My right-rear pads are worn down when the left-rears are at maybe 40%.

I'm going to replace both sets but is there a bigger problem? Something with the right rear calipers?

Just wondering if...
