subie94 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 if you start hearing bad noises from your brakes..don't procrastinate and check em.. brake pads really shot and rotors gonna need turning(or replacement) odd thing is that rear left side's fine but rear right side is shot..haven't checked fronts..rear was making 90% of noise also,don't allow the rust to get bad..some is mild but there's some good size holes here.. (click on any for larger pic) so..yup,i know what i'll be doing this summer(brakes done by tomorrow..hopefully) :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiffy Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 yikes! thanks for reminding me... I need to do all 4 corners... probably this weekend since it's gonna be HOT and DRY outside... I don't envy your east coast rust... --Spiffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 odd thing is that rear left side's fine but rear right side is shot.. either your left rear is frozen and is not engaging or your right rear slide pins are gumed up and the pads are draging (usually only one pad is worn, outside i think). is there more rust on the left rear rotor than the right??

subie94 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 either your left rear is frozen and is not engaging or your right rear slide pins are gumed up and the pads are draging (usually only one pad is worn, outside i think). is there more rust on the left rear rotor than the right?? that's what i was thinking(left side caliper problems).seems to be more rust on left side.but hard to tell due to the fact that on left side,theres rust on the inner/outer edge of the rotor and right side only has rust on inner edge(like in the pic).pins seem to be sliding ok too.. when i first got the car(1.5yrs ago) i checked the brakes out and of course i only checked one side(which was left,which seems to be about the same as it was then). so tomorrow i'll be spending $19 for pads and possibly $40 for 2 rotors.. The right side is the side that gets driven through the gutters with all the salty snow/slush in it. ain't that the truth..right side was always muddy..or clean(depending on what was on the side of the road(water or mud puddles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subie94 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Sooo..Yup total amount for the brakes are gonna be $76.84($18.88 for pads and $57.96 for both rotors..) only reason i paid $28.98 per rotor was cause the $19.99 ones were back ordered and no time to wait..suppose i could of called around but... i am gonna have to see if i have a spare caliper just in case the right side does in fact need replaceing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
