This weekend I noticed a grinding noise coming from my left side rear brake. So I bought some pads Wagner PD773 pads from my local auto parts store.
I noticed the back of the rotor wasn’t smooth because the pad had no material left on it. Naturally they didn’t have a new rotor and caliper in stock. So I put it back together with just the new pads.
I regreased the caliper pins (they didn’t seem frozen) but, the caliper seemed stiff when I pushed it back in. But, it wasn’t leaking and did go back in.
I have only driven 10 miles and that brake seems hot. Do you all think it is because of the rough rotor and eventually it will get better or do I need to replace the rotor, caliper and etc?
If so, any parts & part numbers do you all recommend?
Thank you for your help!
