this is what happens when you get rushed by stupid family members, so i put on an aftermarket pads, all of em were on right except the rear one which i was being rushed on 3 days ago, and it was on backwards the one your supposed to put behind the rotor on the rear caliper. so the car was grinding and i thought it was pads breaking in but something was telling me that grinding dont supposed to sound this way for pads. so i took it to a mechanic today to get the brake fluid changed out, and that brake fluid was a caramel color, and put in the new fluids which was crystal clear. saw him change the fluid it was pretty cool how he did it. so he showed me the rear pad was on backwards, and small wear on the rotors, mind you i only put about 180 on the car since the change and most of it was highway. well the rear rotor looks a bit scratched but he said once the pad starts breaking in, itll smooth things out. i drove the car home, and it didnt make any noise, which was awesome, and stopped reeally well as to. im happy, so dont get rushed by your dumb cousin next time your working on a car!

 

At least you know who to blame!

 

..............and don't take interruptions from your wife either:





Fortunately I heard this outer pad grating against the new disc as soon as I moved the XJ Sport.
