Anyone ever use coated rotors? I changed the pads/rotors on the Taurus on Monday and used wearever PI rotors and wagner pads as replacements.
For the first 40 miles I only had a normal mildly scratchy noise from the coating being worn off. then after that, I start hearing a clicking/popping noise from the right front. It clicks/pops once per wheel rotation and gets louder as brake pressure increases.
Wednesday I took everything off to make sure it's tight, removed the caliper, made sure the pads were in there correctly, etc. Yesterday I still heard the noise. So I took it back apart and replaced the stupid clips thinking maybe I shouldn't have reused the old ones (even though they looked fine). I read of a few people having a similar noise that went away after replacing the clips, so even though I don't possibly see how that could make a noise like I'm hearing, I did so. Still have the noise today
tonight i'll take the rotor off and inspect it closer, but I'm wondering if you guys ever had a similar issue
these are the rotors
