    Ever heard of anyone having issues with the Rotora BBK on a Edge Sport?

    I installed the BBK 1 year ago and everything was fine up until 1month ago when I hear a lot of snapping and crackling coming from the front wheel area. Sounds like the wheels about to fall off. I've removed everything 3 times and double-checked to make sure everything is torqued to spec.

    Called Loren and he really has no idea. 

    Replacement rotors are $1400 pr.

    Anyone have a suggestion? I don't know where to to from here.

    Thanks

      There are small dots drilled into the face of the rotors North South East and West they are located close to the outside edge. These are wear indicators and you can see them without taking off the tire. If there are none then  your rotors are worn out

    I've followed you on this forum for some time and what really caught my eye was the Rotora BBK you installed on your `16 some time ago. I was so impressed with your write-up on it that I called Loren at Rotora and ordered a complete front and rear set from him for my `16 Edge Sport.

    I installed the kit just about 1 year ago and everything has worked well beyond my expectations,, until about 1 month ago.

    I have developed a loud clicking/grinding noise in the front that I just can't figure out.

    I have had the fronts off 3 times and inspected EVERYTHING. I've checked the torque on the rotor to hat and have called Loren twice. ( a tech at the Ford dealership says its in the brakes) He wants me to send the rotors back to them to be checked or buy new front rotors and pads for $1400.

     

    I thought I'd reach out to you to see if you've had any issues with your BBK from Rotora.

     

    Thank you,

      Other than changing the pads my brakes have had no issues. The rotors are well worn, but have enough life in them that I am going to install my third set of pads this week. After these new pads are gone I will need to replace the rotors. But nothing no problems at all and I use the heck out of them my tires only last 5,000 miles!!!
