Default replaced front brake pads and rears started actin weird :(

So last week I replaced my front brake pads because they were low. Beforehand I checked all around and the rotors n rear pads looked good. One week later my driver's side rear rotor is making grinding noises and needs replacing. I'm gonna do the rear rotors and pads tomorrow, but does anyone know what would have caused this so suddenly?? Was it something i did wrong when i did the front pads(didnt replace front rotors, just turned them)??

Are you sure the pads are seated correctly in the calipers?

I used to work in a brake shop and one day a customer came in and said "ever since you replaced my brakes my stereo quit"

Nope, sometimes **** just happens.

It is possible that the rear pad separated from the backing plate, but you have to take it apart and just check it.

I HIGHLY doubt it is your fault.

I didnt touch the rear brake pads. Are you saying that changing the front pads can cause the rear pads to not be seated properly??
