Condition of my drivers side front rotor.

[William]

2006 Dodge Caravan SE, Front Drivers side, inside rotor pic, taken about two hours ago.
No grinding, brakes feel and sound fine, but a clicking noise some times when going over speed bumps, un even road’s etc. What do you think?

(you may have to right click and say open in new tab)

Might want to have them turned or replaced. Can you easily feel the grooves? Does feel as bad as it looks?
If it is not turnable, looks like they run about $30 to $40 each.
IIRC, on that job, removing the rotor is a matter of removing the brake caliper and maybe the bracket and voila.

THEN, mom can safely get the kids to soccer practice in the minivan AND pick up some more lemonade.

I did not feel the rotor’s, tomorrow I have off and will take the tire off and snap a new pic during the day. I will feel them then. I am new at this also, so not sure what “bad” or just “ugly” feels like.

ehh just take the rotor to autozone or someplace that turns rotors. If they cannot do it, just grab a new one.

You could maybe get by on that rotor being like that but it would be easiest to just deal with it now and be done with it for a few years.

The rotors are their own problem, but those should have nothing to do with the clicking you’re hearing. I’d sooner investigate worn sway bar links and bushings for the noise complaint. The links and bushings are normal wearing parts and they get noisy once they are worn.

I agree with no common sense, I don’t think it’s the discs.

In addition, it may sound silly but I’ve seen things as simple as cheap or damaged wheel trims cause symptoms like this.

I would also look towards your cv joints and wheel bearings.
