I think this just happened to me. Im getting a wooing noise when im slowly rolling and when breaking. I said F it bought ls400 calipers and drilled slotted rotors. Cant wait for them to come so i can paint and install them. I havent checked the back side of my rotors.

Surprised your caliper was still usable, if the rotor was that bad, I thought the caliper piston would have pushed out of the bore.

Yikes....That's just plain scary that you were driving around on that. If you had to make a panic stop, there is NO WAY that would have stopped quickly.

I have seen this but only one time before this. The caliper bolt was bent on a chevy truck only allowing one side to contact the disk. make sure the caliper bolts are ok and lubed up good!

I guess mines isnt that bad i replaced my pads about a year ago but im getting that woo sound. Check the front pads and still had a lot of life left, but one on my bolts did come off the bracket which allowed the caliper to move outwards scraping my rims a bit.
