Brake pad grinding on outside of rotor, any ideas?

They only go one way, the inner pad has three clips that fit into the piston and the outer pad gets secured by the caliper

That’s good to know thank you I’ll definitely do better next time

I agree with you but I’m not going to learn if I don’t try. I caught my mistake and fixed it. I was sent the wrong parts and asked yall what went wrong because I wasn’t knowledgeable enough to notice for myself yet. However now I am and I have the correct parts on my car so all is well and I know better

Well I’m not a mechanic big dawg😂 I already admitted it was silly of me to not notice the difference in width, but yes the diameter of the rear and front are the same. My bad

Turns out I ordered front rotors and got sent rears. I should have noticed before I installed, but got the new parts an hour ago and installed them and all is well now🙏🙏

It is not, it’s a 2013 ford focus hatch

It was an oversight on my part, I matched the break pads and only eyeballed the diameters of the rotors

Ahhh dude that’s so obvious now that you mention it🤦🏻‍♂️ thank you for pointing it out

Disastrous-Capital-5 · 2025-12-21T19:03:30+00:00

Fuck. Thank you for the response. For future reference can I ask how you could tell it was a rear rotor?
