Why does your car vibrate when your at a stop light or while applying the brakes for a 2001 dodge stratus?
If you are saying it vibrates while applying the brakes just before you come to a stop, then the brake rotors are warped. You will need to have them turned and trued, and replace the front brake pads. If you are saying it vibrates while you are sitting still, then look for a vacuum leak.If you are saying it vibrates while applying the brakes just before you come to a stop, then the brake rotors are warped.

How do you replace the front brake rotors on a 2001 Mercury Cougar?
take off the wheel cap,take off the wheels. bleed the calipers. there should be a bleeder valve. take off the calipers. clean them up because there probably rusted. id paint them to. unbolt the rotors. you'll see the bolts right there, put new the ones on. put the calipers back on. throw some new break pads up in there. tires back on. lower the car. fill it with some dot4 brake fluid. make sure to clean the brake fluid resivior off real good because you do NOT WANT ANY DIRT IN YOUR BRAKE FLUID... " BRAKE FALUIRE" i belive is what they call that, you will find the brake fluid when you open your hood. standing directly in the front the bottle in the back to the right. like if some guys head was where it was and you were driving your car, you can look directy at him and he can look directly at u ITS RIGHTT THERE. then the the car. The stock rotors from the cougar glaze over real easy. i say go on eBay look for some rotors from r1 concepts sloted and drilled performance. Even if your not looking to upgrade they make a difference. 200$ they will send u front and back rotors and all new pads. they make a big difference. but what do i know im only 17. hope it helps!
HAVE A 2006 KIA Optima no brake warnings showing but scrubing sound coming from front and rear of car?
It's more than likely your front brakes and the sound is reverberating thru the car look at the rotors on front and feel them and see if they are ruff and grooved if so you need to do a brake job as for the warning light that will not come on unless it's low on fluid or the abs senses a problem.

If you clean the rotor up alittle you will see it STAMPED on the rotor. Look at it and you will find it. That will be factory specs. If your smart, you will REPLACE the rotors and pads and you will have done a good brake job.
How do you change brake pads on a Chevrolet impala?
Are you changing the front or rear brakes - if rear are they disc brakes? Are you planning to replace the brake rotors as well? I have done 100s of brake jobs on these cars and they are a very simple design. Don't let the look of them fool you and don't be worried about ABS brakes - you won't get near the components for that system.
