Put new rotors and pads on front of 14 XLT. Wagner Thermoquiets. Drove 50 miles into city and front passenger side rotor looks like this. Got home and wheel is covered in black soot.

Ideas? Pads was sitting good cradle, Calipers squeezed down, etc... At a loss.

Guess Ill take it back apart tomorrow and see what the deal is

It brake pad dust. Did you get a good quality brake pad?

Some of the best. Wagner Thermoquiet Ceramics

But look how the rotor looks. Thats a brand new rotor

greasyknuckles

can the tire be turned easily? If inside pad is on the outside, when the caliper is
bolted down it will cause the top of the pad on the outside to bind on the rotor
just like pictured

What's said above. Pads are on backwards likely. Pads with ears on inside to contact pistons. Pad with no ears on outside.

Midwest Aftermarket

Like they stated above, possibly on backward. Also, some brakes (powerstop / stoptech) require a break in period. Just another thought.
Hope that helps!

Pads are backwards as previously mentioned. Trust me...I've done that twice
