New discs and pads

[Dean Fletcher]

Just replaced all 4 sides discs and pads.
Took the car for its first drive, noticed a grinding noise coming from OSR wheel after getting back I took the wheel over and calliper thinking there was something stuck but couldn’t find a thing. Cleaned it all up and a little better but still a rubbing noice and a ring on the disc?

Might just need a bit of clearance from everything being new , maybe try a 20 mile circuit with repeated gentle braking and see if that sorts it ?
Have you put some copper slip on the pad ends and made sure they have some wriggle room where they sit in the calipers .

Yeah I applied copper anti seize on the ends and little on the back. Looking at the other side it’s done it on both sides but the drivers side isn’t making any noise

I would put a few miles on and then reassess it .

got to the bottom of this, because is used the good old technique of caliber bracket bolts in the back to pop off the old disc, the dust plate had bent slightly touching the inside of the new disc. simple fix calliper off and bend it back simples no noise now and better breaking already and only done 50 miles on the new set.
