Thinking of pad-slapping without turning the rotors, or even checking the size of the pads?

Yo... don't. No no no...

I'm seeing alot of this now. In fact yesterday I was servicing a mobile sales truck that never stops driving. Rotors were rusting away faster then the pads could wear it off.

More of this seems to be happening here since they switched to salt for the roads.

That's one thing, that where ever I've worked, I refuse to do. Almost got fired once for NOT pad slapping. Cool
