Can a knackered wheel bearing warp a disc?
On a mondeo mk 2- A few weeks ago i had the bearing on front drivers side changed as it was making a noise-during it being changed the garage found the brake pads had seperated from its backing so had new brake pads put on as well-since then when at low speed as in reversing in car park i get a squeeling noise coming from that wheel-jacked car up and when i turn wheel by hand in one place it rubs against brake pads and makes said noise-also the brake pads instead of braking over whole surface now on outside of that wheel only brake on outer part of disc-took it back to garage he said its just the pads wearing in-but done a couple hundred mile now and still same-so this weekend i swapped pads round to other wheel and still doing it-so question,- as far as i know before bearing was done my disc was ok as its only done approx 8000 miles ( but they was only cheap ones)could a worn wheel bearing have warped a disc? as i dont wanna replace discs if its not problem, just wondering as i know garage only stuck cheap pads on so could they be problem? and if its warped and hence hitting in one spot when turned why is it only braking on outer part of disc as well?

I know brake pads should brake on more then half a disc-as i say swapped sides with the pads at weekend and they brake ok on other side yet the disc on drivers side is still making squeeking noise in one spot when i turn wheel by hand so i can only think disc is warped as well?

if the wheel bearing was that nackered it could have heated the disk up more than usual and heated up evan further when you were using your brakes! this would result in a disk warping!
