I replaced the rotors and pads on my '90 E150 van about 3 months ago, using Pep Boys "Prostop" pads & their Chinese rotors.
I'm not new to this, having been driving and repairing E150's for over 20 years, always using "aftermarket" rotors, originally JCWhitney, and in the past few years Pep Boys. And I always clean the "pin" v-grooves and apply a tiny bit of DB grease to them. Have never had a problem.
Today I had to fix a flat on the rt front, and noticed the outer pad was quite worn and the inner somewhat less, and the outer rotor face noticeably scored.
Is this me, or has Pep Boys gotten a bad or cheaper batch of rotors? Or brake pads with some crap in them (melamine perhaps??)
Has anyone else had this problem?
