Brake Not rubbing rust off disc? was created by slacker
Hi all,

Had to get some new pads on my focus the other week, now ive noticed the rust you get on the discs is not rubbing off when using the brakes. Theres an outer circle which the brakes don't seem to get.

To me this sounds like the brake pads are not the right size for the discs, but is this just because they need bedding in or should i be ringing the garage up?

does the car pull under braking? get on a straight get up to 45-50 slam the brakes on hard if you perform an emergency stop your cars fine and you'l probably find the corrosion has gone... however if you end up in a bush, you was braking because you seen a fox and sue the garage
