Moisture Buildup As the rotor turns while you drive, the pads scrape off the rust, which can then get caught on the leading edge of the brake pad. If these fine contaminants become embedded into the pad’s leading edge, it can cause a squeak. Most overnight rotor rust is normal and comes off with normal driving.
