2 weeks ago I put powerslot rotors on the front of my 00 ex. I also put on Hawk pads. I did the little brake in stuff like hitting the brakes several times from 35- 10 and so on.

I noticed after 2 days of driving (with no hard braking, etc) that my passenger side rotor has a big white ring around it. (see pics below)

The driver side just has a very slight white ring. hardly noticeable at all.

Why is it doing this?




heres one more pic not as close up

no one?

 

bleed your brakes, there could be water in the line on one side causing the other side to take up the slack and wear more,
does it pull to one side more than the other when you stomp the brakes?

 

I had the same problem on my old Nissan 200sx. It was a bad Caliper. The caliper piston is coming out at a angle and causing brake pad wear more on one side and less on the other. My suggestion would be to bleed the system first and if that doesnt do anything then order a new caliper from honda.

no it doesnt pull when braking.

 

I will try to bleed them and see how it goes from there. thanks

 

If the outside pad is wearing funny you have a slide pin problem if the backside is you have a piston problem.

 

so either way the caliper would need to be replaced?

no you need to take the slides off clean and lube then with sylglide or someother caliper slide grease, DO NOT USE ANTISEIZE! This will take care of your problem, do it soon so your not screwwing up that new pad and rotor.

 

Check your outer pad, does it have a similar groove? Were the rotors cleaned? were the pads cleaned on the surface? is the caliper's piston round and normal looking?

 

Off topic, but Hondamanwill your sig is so very true.

 

we took everything off yesterday and put it all back together, brushed the hub and all these other peices and cleaned up alot of stuff.

the outer pads were not making contact on the rear of the pad but the inside pads were fine
