    It's an auto.

    Someone (previous owner) put new pads on it and didn't change the rotors. The pads weren't very worn, yet the rotors had a really good sized ridge on them.

    I guess my next step is to bleed/ flush the brakes... after breakfast.

    Thanks for your help.

          Did you actuate the parking brake after you were done?
          You will want to pull up the handle, press the pedal, repeat till you adjust the rear calipers out. That should help.

            Thanks Min!

            After inspecting the rear pads (taking the calipers back off only to see they were installed correctly), I was starting to think it was just the new pads causing it.
