I'm going to replace the rear pads and rotors after six years and 140,000 km (85,000 miles) as the pads only contact the rotors to a width of one inch on both inside and outside rotor surfaces. Ouside of that one inch the rotors are seriously rusted to the point the rotor surface is lower than the parts that still make contact.
When I called the parts store, I was told there were two different rotors listed for my truck.
One is a 330.4 x 90 mm, the second is 330 x 76 mm. The second number is the critical one as it refers to the height of the rotor when it is lying flat. The difference in height is 14 mm, or @ 5/8 of an inch. Seems odd to me. I'll measure the exisiting ones before I buy the replacements, to make sure I get the right ones.
Does anybody know why there are two different rotors listed?
Thanks,
Tor
