Icon6 93 Del sol SI rear brake noise after brakes replaced

Ok so I replaced my brakes all around, being an idoit i tried to forcibly put the rear driver side brake pads over the rotor, I tried c-clamping the calipar closed to make enough room before I realized to push the cross in. But before I push the cross in I took it for a drive with the calipar basically closed with the pads locked on the rotor. One of the pads ended up breaking so i just threw the old one on.

After everything was installed a few weeks later I started hearing a noise from the same side where I C-clamped the calipar, I figured it was from the old pad so I replaced both pads with new ones.

About a month later I started hearing the same noise. It sounds like the sound when you need new pads but with a rubbing sound too. The slower I go the slower the sound is.

Is it possible I warped the rotor or messed up the calipar?

Also another bit of information, when I replaced the pads the second time I spun my rotor around and it made the same sound it makes now. The faster I spun it the faster it made it and started slowing as the rotor slowed down. It would spin about 3/4 of the way for a full rotation fine and spin the last 1/4 and make a sound.

Yes, you may have warped the rotor. Put a straight edge on the rotor to check. You may want to get it turned or buy a new one... never force anything, especially the mechanism that allows your 2000+ lb car to stop...

You DO know that you have to "turn" the cross in on the caliper, don't you?

If you just pressed it in, then there is no telling what you messed up.
