I was driving home yesterday and when getting off of the interstate i heard a grinding noise, which is weird because i've never heard them squeel before. they continued to grind on the way home so today i decided to take a look and sure enough, it was rough as hell on the passenger rotor. this is what i found...
oh yeah, good stuff.
i pulled the center cap off of the driver side wheel and seen i had a broken stud...
more good stuff.
those pads were also worn down so i'm going to replace them. wasn't sure if i wanted to mess with having the rotors turned or if i should just go the route of buying brand new ones. i was looking into the wagners ceramic pads and rotors, they offer a lifetime warranty at o'reillys so that's comforting. anyways, i just thought it was weird that there was no sign at all of the brakes needing to be changed. i noticed the wear indicators were pulled back, not sure if that was on purpose. one of the allen bolts was damn near stripped out but i got it out of there. i know from previous brake jobs that you need to lube a few things. is there anything special i need to know before i finish up? has anyone had any good/bad experiences with wagner? hell i might just end up seeing if these can be turned again, how long are oem rotors suppose to last? anyone over 220k still using their oems?
