I recently got my rear brakes done, then rotors would rust about after a week of driving epesically when it rains when back to the shop to get rotors cut after a week same thing is happening can anyone tell me what I need to do. New rotors?
new rotors - 6G Celicas Forums
no its fine most rotors do that
normal...most get alittle coat of rust just from washing your car. No big deal.
but it stays like that. And when i brake i can hear the rust noise from the rotor.
anybody its still have rust spots and its been 3-4 days since it rained and ive been driving it every day. Some one told me that you can only resurface a rotor so much till you need new ones?
when u drive around and apply vrakes, the rust should go away on the surface of the rotor.
I've been doing that for the past 3 days soft and hard braking. I just hear the pad grinding on the rust.
cheapy rotors then, they shouldnt be rusting that fast.
what kinda rotors did you get?
I dont know i didnt change the rotors just changed pads. I had the car for about two years never changed the rotors. But this didnt happen before until I got my pads done and they resurfaced my rotors.
yea i'd probably go down to advanced auto or pepboys whatever
and buy a new pair of rotors then...i've never agreed with turning rotors anyways...
rotors arn't that expensive either so thats the best idea right now probably

what kind of pads you got on?
toyota oem its green
i thought everyone said toyota pads arent any good, my oem pads were red...i bought ceramic for the low dust, low noise
how long does rotors suppose to last. I was looking through my car and the previous owner changed the rotors 3 years ago and it cost him 100 each.
probably depends on how you drive and if you brake hard or not.
I hardly step on the brakes. I think im just gonna go to autozone and buy some duralast rotors for 45 each and see whats up.
ok just gonna get some cheapo autozone rotors and see what happens

It could be that your pad on one side isn't touching the rotor all the way. Does it look the same on both sides? IF its only one side, might be a caliper problem, or the rotor is too thin after turning. (Im just trying to come up with why it might do that. Im not a mechanic)

both sides are like that. Im gonna buy some cheap 45 dollar duralast and see what happens.
Yes, anything is better than Autozone parts. Seriously, Autozone sucks. I go to Napa, Advanced, and some internet companies.
