Whilst I was in sydney oer xmas I got new tyres fitted to my wheels.
On the drive home there was a lot of stop stard traffic. My front left wheel had a rubbing/gringing sound comming from it when we got home. 500ks away. My pads were low before we went down. I jacked up my car and took the wheel off. The back pad looks to be completly warn and it looks to be eating into the rotor. About 1mm. My question is just because the pad is worn should that cause it to rub. Also how much would I be looking at for average priced rotors and pads |

it depends on what pads you used..
the harder the pads the more they wear into the disc.. so after a fair amount of km the pads can wear into the disc and when the pads are low the inner or outer edge of the pad backing will rub on the disc.. also if the inner pads are wearing down before the outer pads the caliper slides might be seized.. a new set of rda slotted rotors are about $200 pair dba slotted are about $320 pair.. std rda rotors are about $100 pair and dba are about $180 pair.. i just replaced my rotors on my ed and i went for the rda slotted and bendix ct standard pads.. i rather the pads wear out fast and the rotors last a bit longer... |

I don't really have the spare cash for a $50 book. Any chance someone could do a basic right up or anything like that.?

Tighter is better than loose AU is completely different to EBII....if you do the stub axle nut up to 120Nm, you will sieze the bearings in no time.
