I have an '02 edge 3.0 2wd. My front bearings were making noise so I changed them along with the rotors and pads.
Since changing all of that, my pads have been rubbing against the rotors but in an odd way. On the outside of both rotors they are rubbing on the outer edge and on the inside of the rotors they are rubbing on the inner surface - close to the hub.
I took the calipers back off and nothing seems to be binding. The pistons move in and out freely and the slider bolts are greased and have no restriction. Put it back together and still the same thing.
Although, when I originally put the center nut on the rotor I only tightened it to 4-5 lbs of torque as instructed from multiple sources. Does anybody recommend a tighter center nut? And could too loose of a nut cause this sort of thing??
I'm stumped, thank you in advanced,
