usually the caliper fixture is worn out and it lets the pad rest on that part of the rotor or if the pad has a stainles steel squeal backing plate and it came off and started rubbing or the pad got so worn down it slipped in betweent the space inbetweent the rotor and tha pad

Are you sure that the caliper carrier is the right model for that disk? from the last 2 pictures, it looks like the caliper surface is even with the edge of the carrier where the pad guide ends. In other words, the carrier is for a wider disk, as the pads wore down and moved inwards, they just fell off the carrier.

i know what you're saying, but once it was all back together it looked normal again... cause i notcied the same thing as you, my original thought was that the carrier came loose

during some pretty hard braking maybe the force of the rotor drove the pad onto itself... lol extremely hard braking though!!! :twisted:
