Re: New brakes grinding on new rotors

Today I took the new rotor of the right side to see if it did the same thing on the other side and it does do the same and ive never hit anything on drivers side. I understand the chance the spindle may be bent something on the passanger side but I dont get why it's doing the same thing on the other side. Im guessing If its not the spindle on both sides that it would have to be the bearings but I put the new ones in exactly the same as I took them out. Guess it's time for a mechanic because im not getting anywhere here.
Help me out here, are you saying you took just the rotor from the noisy side and put it on the quiet side and that side is now noisy? All the lugs from the same side are still on the same side? Wheels still on the same side? Hubs/bearings still on the same side? The ONLY thing you moved was the rotor? Forget spindle issues you found the culprit. Are the left and right rotors the same size? Slotted rotors are directional or side specific, are these drilled or slotted?
