Got squeaky noise coming off the passenger side checked out and have some really bad bent metal on the brake pad side. Ordered a new set of rotors and pads all the way around black drill slots with ceramic pads

I’m not implying it’s slow or fast only the factory brakes and wheel hubs are worn due to age not everyone is out beating the snot of their corvette!
Everything so far apparently is the original

Absolutely I never had trouble stopping even with worn *** pads I bought some black drill slots Eline or something it’s good enough with moog bearings.
Had some time to inspect the bearing it looks and feels ,rotated fine but the guts look worn out . Last time I took the tie rods off were easy this time around they are being a bit stubborn and might require a blow hammer

I’m still getting a rotor rub I don’t know why this is happening ! New wheel bearing new rotors and brake
It’s coming from the part that hold the pads any ideas of what’s going on?
