Rotor squeakage
So I recently replaced my front brake pads because they were due for a change.
I put on the new ones and after a while they started squeaking again. I think it might be my rotors. They don't seem very smooth. most of the squeaking is coming from the left rotor and that one has a deep gouge in it like when the last person was turning them they did a really bad job. Any suggestions as to what i should do?

Re: Rotor squeakage
If there's enough "meat" left on the rotor, have it turned again.

Re: Rotor squeakage
Did you put new pads on without turning the rotors?

Re: Rotor squeakage
well i would have had them turned, but I was leaving on a really long road trip the next day and wanted to change the brakes before I left.
