Brake Help

Just noticed that on one of my rear discs - there is a ring rust about 1/2 an inch wide around the edge. Guess the pad is not in full contact with the disc - What's wrong?

Can you get a pic?

Sounds like... wait for it... the pad is not in full contactt with the disc.

The rear disks are poor quality imo. Ive already had one set rust all the way through and snap. And the rust patch round the edge is normal. Its just because the pads dont cover the whole area of the disk.

guessed that the pad is not in full contact with the disc -cheers

it's only on one side and only just noticed it - not there before!

Why would it just start to happen??

The caliper sliders are stuck proably but then again the rear brakes are useless.

Drums are much much better for doing hand brake turns on a clio

Why did you downgrade then to a less superier product?

for the anti roll bar and the drums tend to fade at high speed braking
