Brake question

Postby B.O.B. » Tue Jan 01, 2019 6:58 am

Just replaced the pads and went on a quick trip to break them in. Seems like the outer portion of the rotor is getting more pressure from the pad then the rest of the rotor. Is there a way to adjust this or do I have a bad caliper?

Make sure the caliper is floating in the bracket. If it cant move freely it can stick. Also what brakes?

did you machine or replace the rotors if not you might just be dealing with the wear pattern of the rotor.
