I just recently changed my rear break pads and rotors on a '93 eclipse. The brakes seem to be working fine, but they are giving off a very strange almost burning smell.
If there is anyone that may know what this is, can you please help. I greatly appreciate it.
Drive your car on level ground for five miles. Stop your car and feel the heat coming off your brake rotors. If one feels much warmer than the others the slider pins or caliper piston may be stuck closed. While feeling the heat smell each rotor the one that's dragging will have a very pungent metallic burning smell.
I wish you would have included the brand and type of pads you installed. Some brands have a brake seating coating on the friction surfaces. It's supposed to seat the new pads to a re-finished brake rotor. Believe me, this stuff not only stinks but black smoke will roll off your brake rotors. for the first 50 - 100 miles.
