My brother-in-law came over complaining about a grinding noise at the passenger rear side wondering if I could take a look. When I took the wheel off I saw right away that the outboard brake pad was down to the metal backing and clearly stuck against the rotor. The inbound pad was okay, with little wear. The opposite side was similarly in very good shape. The underlying issue was a huge amount of rust and buildup on the outboard side of the caliper bracket. I mean I’ve never seen it quite like this before. Looks like whoever did the previous brake jobs neglected to address this properly. I had to use a Dremmel to grind it off...
Anyone else see something like this?
