I replaced my front rotors yesterday and noticed the outer 3/4" was wearing much more heavily than the rest of the rotor braking surface. Both on the left and right. I took apart both, cleaned, checked the guide pins, shim kits, and reassembled with new rotors. Everything looked good and performed well, but today the new rotors are showing the start of the same aggressive wear pattern. In fact, after stopping the car from my commute there were wisps of smoke coming from that area. I'm grounding the car as soon as I get it home today.
Is there a shim or something I could have assembled backwards on both? What could cause it to clamp on the outer edge like that?
