Depends on the type of car/truck. For my 91 Dynesty around $26 for rotors, $15 for pads from AutoZone. My 97 Ford 150 $40 for rotors and $30 for pads from AutoZone. That's only one corner. I always change both corners ie. Front left and right. It's a dirty job but can be done in one evening. Just pay attention to the way they are put together.A handy tool is a digital camera. Take pictures as you progress.
Answersome models (like my 2000 odyssey) have set screw holding the rotors to the hubs, which can strip out easily and can only be found at the dealer (if you ever get it off the hub. use an impact driver (which turns a fraction of a turn when you whack it with a hammer) to break the set screws loose...when your brake pedal moves up and down when you press the pedal ,usually it is a warped brake rotor or a loose bearing on one or both brake rotors Warped front disk brake rotors.
front rotors are 25mm standard min is 22mm back rotors are 8.5mm min
No , disk brakes front and rear ( the back disk brake rotors have small parking brake shoes inside of a drum portion )
When disk brake rotors get old they usually warp a little, causing disk brake "chatter". Fortunately, the rotors are easy to replace, even for a novice. It will probably cost you around $200.00 to $300.00 to have a shop do it for you. It's common to all vehicles with disk brakes and can be caused when the brakes overheat typically when going down long hills with the brakes on. In addition to the above answer, you may not need to replace the rotors. Take them to a machine shop at your local Auto Parts store and see if they can be turned. If so this usually cost around $10 per rotor. Be sure and replace the pads on both wheels, clean everything up with spray brake cleaner, and lube the slide pins unless they are corroded. If they are corroded very badly, replace them. You have warped brake rotors. You will need a brake inspection. They may find that all you need is resurfacing the brake rotors or they may find that your brake pads are worn out as well, and that you need a brake job. The rotors will have to be measured to see if they have not worn down too thin to resurface. The rotors have to be above a predetermined minimum thickness in order to be safe to use. If they are worn too thin, then they will have to be replaced.
What you're describing COULD be what is called "disk brake chatter". The problem is caused by heat, which eventually will warp the rotors. If the rotor is warped the disk brake pads grab with different force as the warped rotor changes angle toward the brake pads. If the problem IS disk brake chatter, the only options are to have the rotors turned or replace them.
What you're describing sounds like "disk brake chatter". It's a condition caused by warped rotors. Rotors often warp when they're old and/or have been overheated.
yes but depends how big the rims are
It's PROBABLY warped disk brake rotors. Brake rotors will warp when overheated and if you go downhill very often, they've probably overheated. Replace the rotors with a high quality product and they'll last longer.
You need to bleed the system.
To effectively perform disk brake repair on your vehicle, follow these steps: 1. Lift the vehicle and remove the wheel. 2. Inspect the brake pads and rotors for wear. 3. Replace any worn components. 4. Install new brake pads and rotors. 5. Bleed the brake system to remove air. 6. Test the brakes before driving. If unsure, consult a professional mechanic for assistance.
Check to see if the brake caliper pins are stuck or stiff. Also, if the park brake is part of the caliper assambly it may be stuck. I've seen this on rear disk Grand Prixs and Luminas.
when you remove the caliper on the disk brake by removing the bolts on the inside of the caliper the rotor just slides off, the only thing holding the rotor in place is the wheel.
