Subject: Re: Did rear bearings and brakes, something weird on the right rear brake. Look by bam on 2011/2/20 1:51:53 This is funny, I have the exact same wear pattern on my 93 after I replaced the rear pads and rotors. The inside of the rotor is fine but the outside is just like yours, contacting on the top 1/2 only. I can even look at the pad next to the rotor and see a gap at the bottom of the pad. I was thinking my calipers are shot. Maybe the bearings (mine were shot on both sides) allowed the rotor to tilt in at the top and so the inside of the caliper where the pads sit is showing some resulting strange wear? Now that everything is new except the caliper, it is showing the bad wear pattern in the caliper. My car has 100,000+ mi. I also painted my calipers and got some paint on the inside where the pads sit but I took them back apart and scraped that area with a file and it changed nothing. |
