Just out of interest, do your discs have the small locating grub screws? Sounds crazy, as I know the wheel nuts should be holding everything together, but just wondering as I've noticed something myself with these...As for uneven pad contact, I would also check that the pistons, particularly on that side it would be the smaller one at the top, are clean and moving freely. ________________________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch....Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

Check the calipers are sitting flush on the mounts and not on a bit of rust, etc. Tend to get that when they're not set square.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

reasonable suggestions! the short drive shaft (passenger side) is a reasonably new one from a local iircand theres little of no wobble through steering wheel or gear stick when accelerating atm bolts have been on and off a few times, its just 406 coupe brembos bolted straight on never really looked at the bolts  i do have the locating grub screw, i only put one of them in, just so am not arsing around taking wheels on and off trying to get everything to line up. I never tighten them up too much as I have had issues getting them out in the past had the said calliper off last night, pistons came out quiet nicely and callipers are in very good nick I squeezed them onto a block of wood, cleaned everything up and re-bled the passenger side calliper ________________________________________ TEAM HIGH BOOST SUPERCHARGED RALLYEMy Rallye project thread |

If a disc warps and is driven for even a short distance the pads take on an uneven shape.Replacing the warped disc and using the same pads will warp a new disc in very little time. Even if the pad is slightly uneven the pressure exerted by the pads and heat generated by the discs is enough to warp. |
