justice Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Ive done a bit of searching and found a few of these threads already but none have answered my question. The rear left has an awful squeak coming from it at low speeds, so I jacked up the car and found that their is a slight contact patch on the rotor and the pad about 2cm long and this is causing the horrid squeaky noise... my question is, how do you think this happened, how can I prevent this again and should I get new rotors right away? UK spec, EBC discs and pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 oh and the rotors and pads have about 1K on them and the brakes calipers have been fully refurbished by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
