I am curious to know if anyone else has experienced severe corrosion of their rear (and only rear) brake rotors. I have just put on my fourth set of rotors in 13 years and 270,000 km. The front rotors don’t. Other vehicles at the same location don’t. The car is driven regularly. It is a dry climate with low usage of road salt. The slide pins and pistons have always moved freely.
Three different brands of rotor including OEM have reverted to the oxide form prematurely. Most recently were Zimmerman rotors and Wagner ceramic pads. Typically a portion of the rotor face starts to rust and scrapes off the pad material at the rusty strip, which then grows slowly wider.
If you have seen this type of thing, have you found any way to prevent it?
Thanks
