Question
alvocado
I replaced the rear pads on my 2002 Yukon Denali this evening after hearing a rubbing noise coming from the driver's side rear wheel. The truck has 55k miles and I was still on the original pads on all four corners. When I removed the inboard pad, I discovered it was down to the backing plate with nearly 100% of the pad gone. The outboard pad still had about 1/8" remaining. I inspected the inboard side of the rotor and felt some minor grooves. The outside of the rotor did not show any significant grooves or unusual wear so I was hoping to get by without turning the rotors.
When I test drove the truck after replacing all rear pads, the rubbing noise from the driver's side rear wheel was still present although not as bad. Is this possibly a result of the scoring on the inboard side of the rotor? I don't know if I should let the pads bed in for a few hundred miles or if that will damage them if the noise is in fact coming from grooves on the rotor. I used Delco OE pads and at $100/axle, I don't want them failing prematurely. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
