loaned one of my beaters out to a friend. 10k miles later they complain about low brake fluid message and horrible noise from rear. wheel off and find outside pad and rotor surface worn extra crispy.
the other side’s outside pad shows normal wear but an unusual lip at the top. the textar pads that came off are of the same type (688) but have a different clip to attach to a smaller piston and fell right out. i doubt this would cause the wear i’m seeing though.
slider bolt still has shiny coating and caliper slides freely. piston compresses easily with bleeder closed. wheel turns with no difficulty
