> From: Kyle Chatman <kchatman@mail.coin.missouri.edu>: > I replaced one rear rotor because of physical damage during an unrelated > repair and I replaced the damaged rotor with an after-market variety (not > sandwich). The rear rotors on the XJ-S are described as "externally damped". They have an iron ring in a groove around the outer edge, trapped but not attached so it can rattle, and if you grab it with your fingers you can slide it around the disk. I would presume that this thing would be fairly effective at preventing some types of sounds from the brakes. However, it does MAKE some sounds -- if you stand next to the parked car and bump it, you can usually hear the things clang around a little. Does this feature have anything to do with why the stock rotors are sandwiched? Do the aftermarket non-sandwiched rotors also have this feature? And if not, will it be missed? -- Kirbert | If anything is to be accomplished, | some rules must be broken. | - Palm's Postulate References:
