Hi everyone. I think I have a problem with my Maxima '02 rear brakes. I changed rear rotors and braking pads recently , about 3 months ago. Yesterday i was driving about 40 miles on a highway and after i got off the highway and stopped on a red light i smelled something burning. I turned back and saw smoke coming from right rear wheel. The rotor was red. That's the story. So , I guess my question is , what should i do? I changed rotors and pads myself , wasn't very hard work though. Left rear rotor seems ok no smoked pads... I did not do breaks bleeding, could it be a reason? Yeah little detail. I noticed that when i brake on red lights after awhile i hear strange noise like a pad did not get pulled from rotor after braking, but it goes away after some time. I am not sure from what wheel it is coming though... I bought chinese "no brand" cheap rotors and pads if it matters anyhow. Any thoughts? Thanks D.
