Hi Kaili,

1) Area of rust near hub sounds normal, the brake pads only contact the rotor where you see a shined worn in dimension on the face. If the other ring of rust bothers your eye you can paint the rotor hats with some black rustoleum or equivalent if you have it apart.

2) -(weltmeister-anti-squeal-liners) These solved all my squeals on the 986, you do have to know how to disassemble the brembo brakes. They apply to the back of the pads, others have had less luck they solved my problem straight away. At 56K it might need pads, rotors and likely a fluid change depends on the previous owner and drive habits and conditions.


3) bad brakes (warped rotors) can also cause a wheel shake, it's very unlikely anyone mounted tires without balancing, would have to be true hackers to do that. They may need to be re-balanced due to wear or a thrown wheel weight, check the brakes first, maybe the squeal is indicative of a need for service.
