Noise still present? I would do to the top edge of the rotor and cut it back a bit, both sides, ALL the way around. I would drive the car if the noise is still present remove the rotor and consider spraying a really thin coat of paint on it towards it?s center. Carefully drive the car. The brake pad should remove the paint in a clear manner. Any strange marks? If so polish/sand as needed.<br dir="auto"><br dir="auto">I think it is likely the issue will be found ON the rotor.<br dir="auto"></body></html>
