Rust on calipers and rotors

TraumaJunkie · 07-09-2010, 11:04 AM

Has anyone ever had this problem?

I have rust on part of my calipers and on the hub of my rotors, front and rear. Will the warranty cover this and replace the parts? Let me know if you guys have experienced this. Any one know a dealership in so cal that will take care of this? Thanks

I think that is normal, if you drive the car and use your brake it should come off. Mines does that when it rains

normal. When you get your tires replaced have the shop clean your hubs with wire brush and apply anti-sieze.

I bought some high temperature rust prevention black spray paint from rustoleum to spray on my rotor hubs...The rotors itself come off when you use your brakes...

I painted the rotor hubs silver to prevent rust.

Rust on the calipers and rotors is normal from humidity and rain. It wears off the rotors as soon as you use the brakes a few times and occurs again when it rains, you wash the car or in humid weather.
