Bars on new rotors Sign In

2013 Dodge Avenger SE

Yesterday I changed out all the pads and rotors on my vehicle.. this morning when looking at them I noticed 2 bars? On the rear driver side rotor.

The rear passenger rotor looks fine and as far as I can tell, the 2 front look fine.

The surfaces of the new pads are not perfectly flat and will wear off the high spots, assuming they were installed correctly. You should double check that.

If you want to hurry up the process you can remove the pad and rub it in a circular motion on flat concrete.

Re: Bars on new rotors Sign In

? Just ONE did that? Not sure but a maybe is something was on a rotor or pad you didn't notice making a colored streak(s) ?? I personally like to clean new rotors unknown what is on them to halt rust in storage, shipping and some brake items carefully "shrink wrapped" if a bit or two of that plastic got burned in it might clean off with I like brand name BraKleen just totally avoid that on anything but that parts! It will quickly ruin paint, rubber, plastic coatings - strong stuff and meant to be,
