Forms of Was and Were. As I said above, was and were are in the past tense, but they are used differently. Was is used in the first person singular (I) and the third person singular (he, she, it). Were is used in the second person singular and plural (you, your, yours) and first and third person plural (we, they). 1  I was driving to the park.  You were drinking some water.
When brake pads make contact with brake rotors, they do eventually clear the thin layer of rust on the contact areas so that they can continue to do their job. However, there are other deleterious effects of rusty brake rotors.he three options for brake rotors that do not rust are zinc-plated rotors, cadmium-plated rotors, and carbon composite rotors. Each has its own costs and benefits, so drivers should weigh these before deciding where to buy these rotors.
Steps. 1  1. Check for loose parts. Try wiggling the brake pad, calipers, and other brake components. 2  2. Replace any shims or clips that are loose, damaged or missing to ensure that the pad does not move in the caliper assembly. 3  3. Try a dampening paste. Disc Brake Quiet is one brand.  4. Check the brake pads, and replace them if they are worn. Many disc brakes include a wear indicator designed to make noise if the pad is worn past a certain point. With aftermarket pads, sometimes the sizes can vary and cause the top of the pad to sit just slightly higher than the rotor.
