Is it because the pads need to wear to the new rotor, I have 8300 miles on the old ones, or is it possible the rotor is warped or bent?? the right side does it slightly but not nearly as bad. When I installed the fronts I never had this issue, there was only about 3000 miles on the car though. Any thoughts, suggestions appreciated  |
Yes, it usually takes a while for the pads to seat to the new rotors. The noise you hear is excess grooves in your pads being worn off by the new rotors , as they aren't fully seated. No need for worries.
