Did you regrind the plates and are the new shoes the same type? Replacing the shoes only means they have to wear a bit to fit the grooves in the old plates. Give it time. Also rebleed the brake cyclinders and get rid of that contaminated fluid.

Why would a car vibrate only when braking after resurfing rotors and installing new pads?

If you only did the front brakes, the problem may be in the rear brakes.


How long before rear brakes and rotors should need to be replaced on a new town and country?

All cars have the brake system designed to make a loud screeching noise when the pads get low. Most people do not do the proper maintenance on their brakes, which is lubing of parts. This maintenance ensures even wear of the pads and or any problems will be noticed. Most braking is done with the front brakes so rear brakes tend to last much longer. Five plus years before having to do the rear brakes is not unusual.

Were the rotors resurfaced or replaced, or just the pads? Warped rotors are the most common cause of vibration when braking

What is the advantages and disadvantages of disc brake with drum brake?

It depends on the vehicle and how hard you'll be braking! Basically drum brakes are quite old fashioned and can 'lock' under hard braking or if they get wet. This can cause the wheel in question to skid! Most new vehicles these days unless they are very cheap (usually motorbikes) come with disk brakes. They won't lock if they get wet or under hard braking. Also disk brakes can have an extra feature called ABS - or Anti-lock Braking System - what this means is that when you press the brake pedal the brakes automatically turn on and off a hundred times a second or so - actually allowing you to steer. Very good. Nearly all cars and many motorbikes come with this feature as standard or an option.


Why is your car making a grinding noise when you just changed your brakes?

Even if you have brand new or good brakes when the pads become hot from braking and then cooled very fast from water then the pads tend to crystalize creating the squeaking noise when you brake you just have to let them squeak it out

What is the life of brakes and rotors on new cars?

That is strictly a function of your driving style and the type of driving. Brake pads can wear as fast as ten thousand miles or last even longer than one hundred thousand miles, depending on how often and how hard the brake pedal is pressed. If the brakes are used so often that they overheat, or if the driver "rides" the brake pedal, the rotors will warp, resulting in a pulsing sensation when you use moderate braking. In any case, brakes are generally quite durable, but drivers are quite unpredictable.
