Why would your car vibrate after installing new brakes?
Were the rotors resurfaced or replaced, or just the pads? Warped rotors are the most common cause of vibration when braking
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.
Driving on bad rotors?
There will be a pulsating on braking.
What are signs that you have bad rotors?
There is a pulsating on braking.
What causes a grinding noise after you got new brake pads and rotors?
This is often caused by installing new pads on worn or slightly worn rotors. Buying new rotors or turning the same rotors would make a smooth surface for the new pads to rub against. Any surface that is less than smooth will cause some grinding for a few days or maybe longer. It also shortens the life of your new pads.
What sound does it make when rotors are bad?
Grinding
What happens when you drive your car with the rotors low?
If the rotors are worn too thin, they could snap apart while braking, leaving you with no braking power at all.
New front rotor and pads 92 explorer still sounds like rotors grinding on front are metal to metal when braking hard?
have the back brakes checked sometimes they can sound like the front
When brakes start grinding is it just pads or rotors too?
The grinding noise is from the the pads being gone and rotors being grinded away. Unless it was just some rust on the rotors from sitting for days.
How does your car react if you need rotors?
There was a lot of squeaking while braking when my car needed new rotors.
What causes a warped brake rotor?
Excessive or heavy and continuous braking may warp brake rotors. Braking hard (heating the rotors a lot) and then going through water (which quickly cools the hot rotors) may also cause the rotors to warp. If the brake pads or brake rotors are getting thin, the rotors will warp more easily.
Do warped rotors cause car to shake only when giving it gas?
No, warped rotors will cause vibration when braking.
