Default Brand New Rotors

I just installed brand new rotors, but they were under a table for a few months, i resurfaced the left one and forgot to do it to the right. Only when i drive straight it makes a clanking sort of noise, as if something was rubbing. And the noise is only on the right side, i dont wanna resurface brand new rotors if i dont have to, If any of you guys have had this problem lmk, and ill prolly just resurface the right side. Also the right side was a spring and a clip behind the rotor and was way harder to take off.

were they rusty when you put them on. if so, the rust will go away as well with the sound as long as you keep driving them

i know when i let my car sit for a few months they got rusty and made a really bad sound. like a

CHHHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR sound when you brake. it will go away like i said, itll take a day or two. no worries. if it lasts a few days id inspect the caliper to make sure your brake isnt dragging!

Id make sure that the pad support plates are installed, they usually keep the pads from clunking.
