Hey everybody I'm new to the forum but not new to working on cars.
I bought some ebay rotors and I know you have to be very careful buying cheap replacement parts for the mechanisms that stop your car. ive put these on my truck and on my honda and on a camry with no problem, 3 years with no issue.
but wait if there was no issue why would i post it... there's an issue
1st.
The rear rotors were very different from each other, one had a smooth "hub" surface and one had the cut outs, which is fine i thought.
2nd.
The inside tracks and divits and are very different, one is deep and the other shallow, one was closer to the edge than the other. differing pits and lands threw me for a loop, this cant be right.
3rd.
The front rotors are the same shape and size but one already had rusted flaky pitted surfaces, which i understand "its your brakes, they are gonna get wet/salted/scraped ect. but out of the box to be like that? really? they where supposed to have a protective zinc spray coating.
not sure how to post pictures
but as soon as i figure it out ill post them.
