Disc Brake Job Gone Bad Grinding- Help please
i put new front pads and rotors on my fathers FJ. He got EBC green stuff 7000 series pads.
the front has been making a grinding noise and when i inspected the rotor, at least the outside passenger side is getting majority etched and destroyed. there is a build up of material on where the pad meets the rotor as well. the other side is fine on the outside and i could not inspect the insides due to the dust shields.
do these pads need to go on in a certain position? even tho i found no documentation saying so? its the only reason i can conclude. im going to pick it up from him while he is a work on monday and get it to my garage to inspect it further, switch around pad order and see if i cant get the grinding to stop before I put on new parts.
any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you YT.

I'm definitely no expert, but on my '92 the pads wouldn't fit in the caliper correct. I then realized that there was a difference between the inside and outside pad. The difference was the pad wear indicators I think, they looked like small clips. Maybe just check and see. Although they were the same thickness so it shouldn't cause grinding.
