Hi,

I replaced all the rotors and pads about two weeks ago on my 95 del sol, and now my left driver's rear rotor has deep grooves in it. I haven't gotten any time to take out the wheel and inspect it, but what could be the issue? One thing i should point out is that I didn't adjust e-brake after the job if this makes any difference.

any help will be greatly appreciated

 

your caliper is sticking burning off the pad or something is hitting the rotor (anti rattle clip maybe or pad shim)

 

Could even be a small rock that has gotten in there seen that many of times. it gets wedged in there and destroys a rotor

 

Caliper could be sticking. Did you lube the bolts that the caliper slides on?

I just got out today to check it out, and I noticed a corner of the pad's ceramic material chipped off (very small). I am starting to think it was a small piece of the pad's ceramic material that came off from the corner and got itself in between the rotor and pad which lead to the damage. I cleaned the area and put everything back together.

now if it had been a stuck caliper wouldn't it be pulling to one side as well, and when I originally did the brakes I also lubed everything.

so I am gonna keep an eye on that wheel, and hopefully take out all rear pads and replace them since they have warranty. now should I replace the rotor? or should I take it to a shop to fix it?
