dani_r Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 My rear brake discs have a line around the outer edge that looks like the pad isn't touching the disc. It's creating a line of rust similar to what you might expect to see if you hadn't used your brakes for a while! Any ideas? I'm supposed to be going away next week to the UK with the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 It's normally nothing to worry about, as it is where the pad isn't touching the disc. It happens as the disc wears. You have to be careful that the corrosion isn't TOO bad though, and that the discs are still thick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani_r Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 ...I might add that it's only a thin line, about half a cm in thickness all the way round. So the majority of the pad is actually touching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
