Hard to say. When burnishing in new pads, you should make 20-30 stops on flat roads going from 25 mph to a stop and allowing time for the rotors to cool as needed. A burning smell is not necessarily abnormal however.
New brakes do not grind. If you replaced the brake pads and resurfaced the rotors you may hear a bit of a sound but it is normal until the pads and rotors wear during normal driving.
Some versions had rotors all around, but 99% of these trucks had rear drum brakes.,,,,,,,,,,,disc and rotor brakes are the same thing, they are the ones that are squeesed from both sides with pads and A calliper, DRUM brakes are the ones that have "shoes" on the inside pushing outward.Hope this helps, Jamison.
Brakes fading is usually a sign of overheating or worn pads. The brake pads need to make good contact with the rotors to have stopping ability. Check the pads for wear, and the rotors for bluing or grooves worn in them.
Check the lug nuts
A common reason is that the front rotors have warped. Go check out WikiAnswers on the topic of "warped brake rotors". Rotors should wear out smoothly in normal driving. Use of the brakes that generate lots of heat (hard braking, riding the brakes) will result in warped rotors.
The grinding could be coming from the rear brakes.
Sometimes you can have a a pulsation while the brakes are adjusting after you have turned the rotors. You could wait a couple days and see if it corrects itself.
I know on Jeeps they use a soft rotor supposedly to quiet the brakes. The average mileage for their rotors is supposed to be around 13,000. I changed my rotors and have not had this problem since and I'm going on 30,000.
There are 4 sensors on the 1995 Chevrolet Blazer. The 2 front for the Disc Brakes is behind the rotors on the hub. The inside hub has gears and the sensors are above them. On the rear, where you have Drum Brakes, the sensors are on the back of the Drum Brake Assembly, next to the bleeder screws.
yeah it will have scratches on them you are using your brakes my friends its not like your brakes are made of cloth or sponge ofcource its normal for rotors to have scratches on there but makes sure they are spread evenly on there that they were installed correctly
It depends on your driving style and the condition of the calipers. If you ride the brakes or otherwise drive in such a manner as to cause the brakes to overheat, the rotors will warp prematurely. If you are constantly in stop-and-go driving conditions you will wear out the brake pads and rotors much faster than someone who drives greater distances and seldom uses the brakes. I've seen some people who get little more than 20,000 miles from brakes and/or rotors. My last brake pads and rotors had over 70,000 miles when I changed them, but then, we drive long distances here.
In 99% of cars, no. The only exception to this is if your rotors are drilled and/or slotted in a directional way. If your rotors are just normal ones, there is no such thing as a left or a right rotor.
