Hi all,
I just noticed an issue with my front brakes.  This is happening to the inner and outer pads on the front brakes. Could it be that I have the wrong pads, or the rotors have been machined down more than 300mm. Also I noticed that on turns the ball joints come in contact with the rotors. I can clearly see the marks engraved on the front rotors from the ball joint. Would anyone know what is the cause of these 2 issues? |

He is right, to a degree.
My 205 rotors are trimmed to 300mm and I have supra pads. The outer pads fit 100% perfectly but my inners sit a few mm lower than the outers. Just to be safe I trimmed off a few mm from the bottom of the inner with my grinding wheel and good to go. Also, my rotors do not hit my ball joint. I put new ball joints in a about 2 years ago and I don't have my car sitting too low. Both of those things could cause the rotor to hit. -------------------- |
