[DeTomaso] Mustang rotor swap question?

[Doug Braun]

Mike,

	The outer edge of his front rotor is rubbing slightly against the # 01002A
Brake pad anti-rattle spring.  Whatever aftermarket rotor he has, it's
slightly larger OD than stock; hence the squeak.  You can see where the
outer rim of the rotor is being polished by the spring.

Doug Braun

You mean the rotor is smaller than stock, don't you?

It could simply be that you have aggressive brake pads which will squeak
under light braking.   If the top edge of the pad is hanging past the end of
the
rotor as I suspect, you could also remove the pads and chamfer the top edge.
