Hi all.. Just need your opinion here. Preferably those with experience in this please...
I bought a disc brake set to fit into my car about a year ago from a seller in this forum. Suppose to fit it in today but I spotted some problem. It is full of rust. The knuckle, the caliper bracket, the rotor shield (that round thing like a shield don't know what is it called). I don't think it is due to me keeping it for one year because I kept it indoors and I bought another set and kept it for the same period and that set didn't rust. I don't expect new because it is halfcut item, but is this too much?
I am not blaming here. But I want to get some opinion on:
(i) Is it safe to use
(ii) What can I do to solve the problem
Below are some pictures:
At a glance, it is ok. just like any halfcut item
Zoom deeper. Everything is badly corroded and crusty.
Can poke thru the rusty rotor shield with finger.
Part of the rotor shield is already gone. Eaten by the rust. Is this part crucial?
I'm worried about the caliper bracket too. The rust is so thick that it formed layers of flakes.
So... Can use? Any ways to solve this?
