Have a strange question, as this is the first performance car that I've ever wrenched on my own. I had to take the wheels off today to send them down to So Cal to Makaveli because all four of the wheels' inside lips are cracking pretty severely.
So I have the car on jack stands in my garage, where it will be for the next few weeks until my wheel are repaired :crying2: . After taking the wheels off I decided to see if the rotors would spin freely (dunno why, maybe I was bored, who knows). It takes quite a bit of effort to turn them by hand. It seems as if the brake pads are rubbing them at most points of a 360 degree spin. Some areas seem to spin more easily than others.
Could this be warped rotors, or is it normal for the brake pads to contact the rotors like this? Just wandering if it is going to cause my brake pads to wear prematurely or maybe slow me down haha
