Replaced discs and pads a few weeks ago as discs were warped to buggery. But, the new discs have done exactly the same.. I cleaned up all surfaces prior to fitting and am baffled.. Losing love for this car as it's developed a knock on the front o/s strut too.. fookedy ****.

 

did you run them in ??

 

You're going to say this is the reason why but they were used, well, only a few hundred miles in the pads and more in the discs, I needed them quickly so bought them from a local scooby enthusiast.. But honestly, they were straight as an arrow when they went on.. and stayed like that for 700 miles.. could it be an issue with a hub do you think?

 

sticky caliper is quite/more possible

+1 for sticky caliper - try going for a drive without using the brakes too much, then have a feel of the discs when you stop & see how warm they are.

perhaps avoid second hand discs?

 

Hi
It sound like a caliper problem as mentioned above , they don't need to be seized solid to cause problems , if they drag slightly , the pad is always pressed onto the disc , so will overheat and distort the disc , the is the biggest reason a disc will warp , and the Subaru calipers are prone to it
Hope this helps
Cheers Ian

 

Cheers Alyn, yes I think you guys are right you know, one piston needed some persuasion to get the new discs in so it seems likely this is the issue.. you taking bookings Alyn?

 

Cheers for reply too Ian, its obvious when you lot say but not to me when I'm stood staring at my red hot fooking discs wanting to set fire to the sodding thing LOL
