Rear brake pads - Land Rovers Only

cornbread · 04-19-2008, 01:36 PM

Just replaced rear brake pads on 04 disco. Went very smooth although it looks like the bottom of pads rub a bit on rotor which in turn leads to some chirping while driving and stops when brakes applied. Has anyone had this problem, very annoying.

Should fit with no misalignment. How many miles on the rotors?

Only about 4000 miles.

So where on the rotor is the pad rubbing, on the hub?

It was alligned perfectly when I first put them on, then after I pressed on the brake it appears that the bottom of the pad doesn't slide away from the rotor as far as the top.
