Hey Guys,
I have a very strange issue on my daily runner that I need every day and work nights with. Car is MK4 VW Golf 2004 TDI. 350,000 KM's. The following is what happened:
1. Replaced brake pads and rotors.
2. Noticed a slight shimmy but because of time constraints etc I could not fix right away.
3. Finally removed the wheel to have a look and now have found that because of some issue??? I am not sure what, the brake pads have vibrated and worn into the rail that they are supposed to slide upon.
~ Pictures ~
* Pads are like these ones with the spring holders on them (fronts). The pads are not VW OEM they are Wagnar Ceramics.
* Pictures of worn rails - http://ift.tt/2u1mpF9 - http://ift.tt/2uhkM1a - http://ift.tt/2u1C2MN - http://ift.tt/2uhUbBe
Can anyone help me understand why this has happened? Would a shimmying rotor cause this? Am I looking at a new hub / bearing now? What is the best way forward? I really need to fix this as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Thank you for any help in advance.
