Well a couple days ago I started hearing a faint grinding sound (kinda sounded like a tire rubbing, but it definately wasnt) from the front passenger side under light braking. I made an appointment at the stealership since its still under warranty.
I wanted to check it out though to make sure they don't give me any BS, and it looks like I still have about 5/32 of pad on the outside front pads and about 3/32 to 4/32 on the inside pads, so thats not the problem, but when I looked at the inside side of the rotor, there was about a half inch wide band where it looked really scratched up like someone took a dremel to it and just grinded it randomly.
So, to make sure I don't get screwed by the dealership, I wanted to make sure of what needs to be done. Do the rotors need to be turned, or is that only for if they're warped? Do they need to be replaced? Also, I would assume, but I'm not 100% certain, that whatever they do to one front rotor (turn it or replace it) they need to do the same to the other. Is this correct?
Thanks guys.
