Front nearside brake problem
« on: 12 July 2013, 18:03:44 »

Hello lovely peeps in Omega land, hope everyones air con is keeping you lovely and cool and the fridge is topped up with a few cold ones

I recently changed my front pads on my 3.2 estate but after a few weeks i noticed a rubbing sound like that heard when pads are low. This rubbing sound only occured when i was braking to a halt and for a few revolutions of the wheel after starting off

Looked at the disc and noticed that there was a lip on the outer edge which i knocked / ground off but as i spinned the wheel i noticed that it seemed to "catch" on one part of the disc / pads. It looked like the disc was running true but anyway i bought new pads and discs and changed them.

The old "new" pads had wear marks at the top where the ridge was.

Refitted all the new bits but i still have the same problem, so neighbours cat got kicked! (as i have not got one) So i throw myself to the mercy of you guru's for some ideas

Paul   :D

Are there any rubbing marks from the tyre on the shock upright? Is tyre wear even across the tread?

Now go and apologise to the cat.  >:(  :P  ;)
