Q: After replacing passenger side rear brake pads and rotor now front driver side brakes and rotor is grinding bad
Only my passenger side rear brake pads and rotor was being worn all the way down to the metal and a grinding rumble came upon braking, rotor was engraved into so I replaced both the rotor and pads with brand new ones. After replacing and pedal feels good when braking but now it's the front driver side that is doing the same thing that the passenger rear side was doing before I put new parts on and without any warning it was instantly worn in the front after replacing the rear parts. What could be the problem? There was no signs of brake pad wear or rotor wear in the front driver side before I replaced the passenger side rear pads and rotor and now the grind in the front is bad??????? Please help!!!!
