07 Jimny, discs and pads replaced at 27k, 16 months ago under warranty. Car now out of warrnaty
Car now at 33k and the nearside disc is badly pitted and it pulls to the offside on braking. Using an infared temp guage the offide disc is at approx double the temp against the nearside disc after a few stops.
Has anyone had this problem with Suzuki Discs.
Are the later cars still using the same discs as the older cars.
Does anyone have a particular brand to buy or is it just the best deal from the motor factor or ebay.
It sounds like your caliber is binding for some reason. I don't know why at that low mileage.
Are you in the UK?
I would be inclined to pull it apart to see what the problem is now it's out of warranty. It's not hard.
Could be the slider seized or the caliber, but would be surprised at that low mileage.
Once you know the prob, fix it and use new discs & pads from a local motor factors. I'd steer clear of eBay stuff as it's a bit hit and miss on quality.
There's nothing wrong with Suzuki parts except the price! It's not the parts that caused this I doubt.

Just replaced our discs and pads... bought the lot for less than £80 from a local Motor Factors. Fitted fine and took no more than 20 minutes per side, and another 10 minutes to bleed them
The "How To" on here was a great help.
