If you don't notice any extra brake dust coming off the pads and onto your wheel relative to the other rear wheel then I wouldnt imagine any of your brake components(pads, caliper,rotor) have failed. No need for any swapping if they are evenly worn. Just start with cleaning the parts with a wire brush, degreaser, and water then apply fresh brake grease. My new pads were a bit squeaky for the first 100 miles but now I don't hear anything even during a 60 mph emergency stop!

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
I bought a polycarbonate set last year from eBay and paid $8 shipped for all 4. A year later, they still look new.
