I just replaced my rear rotors with new factory rotors. I didn't replace my pads. It's easy to see where the pads are hitting. On one rotor only the inside and outside .5 inch is making contact with the pads. On the other side the pads are hitting about 60% and as I drive it's making more and more contact.

Is this because the pads wore differently on the other rotors and it will take time for the pads to "wear into" this rotor? Tomorrow I'm driving about 200 highway miles. I plan on breaking the rotors in and hopefully the pads will "wear into" the rotors and make 100% even contact.

Does this make sense what I said or should I be worrying about any other problems. Thanks a lot.

 

you should break in new rotors with used pads so do your hard stops and bed the pads to the new rotors and you should be ok, as long as the pads aren't unevenly worn beyond hope
