damage to driverside rotor
I have a pic in my gallery of my damaged rotor.
my brakes squeel when applied, the harder you press the less they squeel. but you can still hear an unplesent sound.
notice that the mark does not go all the way around ?
any one else ever had this problem ? and what did you do to fix it?

You're going to have to replace that rotor. Is that spot ground in very deep? The only reason I can come up with for that is too much run out. It's either a problem with the hub or the disc, most likely the disc.

hard to tell from that picture, but is that damage only on about 2/3 of the rotor? If so, that would make me think that the rotor or hub is somehow out of round and the rotor is wobbling as it rotoates.
Any damage on the back side of the rotor opposite to this damage?

after the first rotor i took everything apart cleaned and reassembled everthing agian, the run out was not as bad the second time. my brakes made no noise but now they are making the exact same sound which produced the rotor i took a pic of.
