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 is worn more on the top outside? Now that everything is new except the caliper, it is showing the bad wear pattern in the caliper. My car has 100,000+ mi.
Weird, How can a caliper not keep things flat? bearings are brand new.
