go to a shop that specializes in brake repair..... i have rust on the
outside lip of my 93 taurus for the past 10 yrs... its normal... raw
metal(steel) will always rust... the part that the pad goes onto and the
rotor spins will not have rust as the pad has been rubbing it off the
past X miles you been driving it.... it is not a problem with rust on
the unused portion of the rotor, just like the underside of cars with
rear ends being rust on the outside of its case... even new cars on the
dealership lot will have rust on then like on the rear ends, the brake
calipers(part not used)......
