Yeah, I can see though if I lived in a place without requiring snow tires, and salt, 2 years isn't really all that long a time between taking off your tires if a vehicle doesn't need tire rotations to often...Thats some nasty shyte. However if you did regular brake servicing- that condition should have caught long ago.
Something must be terribly wrong with that metallurgy.
Like after 100 years...They look like they were picked up off the ocean floor.
Well, there is rotating tires for even wear, servicing brake caliper pins, flushing brake fluid- I can think of a few excuses to re/re tires.Yeah, I can see though if I lived in a place without requiring snow tires, and salt, 2 years isn't really all that long a time between taking off your tires if a vehicle doesn't need tire rotations to often...
Not sure if they use mag chloride on the roads here. I don't drive it very often mainly in deer season off road and in bad weather during the winter. I always wash car with underbody a few days after a snowstorm and roads cleared up.Dumb question: do they salt or use mag chloride or anything else in KY?
Regardless, I'd almost guess those were sitting on a seaside dock for 10 years before being sold to you....but then the braking surface would have looked terrible, also
I did this brake job 2 years ago and have driven the vehicle less than 5,000 miles since then. Primarily a bad weather and deer hunting vehicle now. I have rotated tires myself and know there is often surface rust but did not see this until I thought the caliper seized up. Caliper was fine it was rotor opening up at the separation and squeezing through the brake pads. Not sure why it wasn't taking the rust off which normally is a stuck open caliperWell, there is rotating tires for even wear, servicing brake caliper pins, flushing brake fluid- I can think of a few excuses to re/re tires.
These are the O Reilly's brand rotors and retail is around $90 each so not bottom of the barrel by price but not rust protection coated either. They replaced them.This why you should never skimp on brake parts.
I don't drive it very often and it does sit outside as garage is full. I need to clean it out and park inside. Drove it a short distance like a few miles a few months ago and it has been parked. I don't like brake work in 90+ degree weather and don't like the mosquitoes at night. Didn't need it right now as bad weather isn't an issue and deer season just came in. I don't hunt when it is this warm either.Wow that's bad. I'm wondering if O'Reilly faced a covid era supply chain problem and sourced whatever they could find.
Depending on the area and weather, automobiles can rust pretty bad in KY, at least in my area where they salt the roads if it MIGHT snow, then if it doesn't snow much, that salty slush is super concentrated and more of it stays on the road instead of being plowed or melting/flushed off the road.
This statement is confusing:
There are two rotors pictured, neither looking like they had any pad contact from being driven recently.
I didn't think they could get that bad in Kentucky
I'd expect that to be more likely in New England, Minnesota, or Canada, but not Kentucky
This is why coated rotors are awesome
Pakistan
Unless it mounts up EXACTLY like that it will have horrible pedal pulsations.I do love how in the lathe portion of the posted video, you can see that the whole hat has a wobble compared to the swept friction surface which is being machined. That thing is going to be smooth as glass once mounted on a customer's vehicle. I get that the lathe work is there to even things out, but it still never looks right...
