Is there any opinion as to how a functioning caliper can "damage" the rotor?
If one of the pistons in the caliper is hanging, and the opposite piston is doing all the stopping, I would think you would get a pull to the opposite side because the caliper is not gripping properly.
I would also think that there would be some irregular wear on the pads that are on the side with the bad caliper. However, since the pads are new, you cannot check this.
Do you recall the thickness of the pads when they were first changed? Regular wear pattern on all pads?
The rotors are about $50.00 each. I have located a rebuild facility for calipers that charges about $90. each (for the SDL). Let me know if you choose not to rebuild them yourself.
If you do rebuild them yourself, please post whether any of the four pistons are not moving properly in their bores (you will have difficulty extracting them).
