Small groove in CCB rotor - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi All -

I've developed a small groove in my front left rotor. Am soon taking it in to have it checked out, but wonder if anyone else has seen anything like this?

Pads appear to be in good shape. It could something lodged between pad and rotor, but that's hard to fathom.

Appreciate your insights.

I’d say if you can’t feel it with your finger nail you should be good to go.

Thanks. It's very shallow and I can barely feel with my finger nail. Really odd. No clue what's causing it.

John,
I would say there was a small stone pebble,for a short time between your rotor & pad,it only lasted a few rotations then was pulverized and ended up as dust,It doesn't look serious,Rotor certainly can be turned,I'd do both rotors to keep the braking balanced. Happy cruising !

I don’t believe carbon rotors can be “turned” as steel rotors. Some special diamond blades are used if there’s even any shops that can. I’d say if the pads look good then just run it and keep an eye on it. If your tracking it, I’d replace.

You're correct,I forgot it was a carbon fiber rotor,my bad!

You can't turn slotted and/or drilled rotors regardless of what they're made of.
