Can a car stop without rotors?
Yes, If you hit something. Rotors are very essential in stopping, that's what the brake pads are pressed in against to bring your car to a complete stop.
Why do brakes squeak?
if they screech for the most part it is a good indication you need new pads there is a metal indicator that when brake pads wear down will start scraping against the rotor now if you know the break pads are good or new screeching is common for the first few days if it continues it could be that you did not apply brake grease to the back of the pad where the pad meets the caliper if that's the case take them off and get a couple tubes of brakde grease (not that expensive) and put them on the back of the pads BUT DO NOT PUT THEM ON THE ACTUAL PAD WHERE IT WOULD CONTACT THE ROTOR that will make your brakes fail
How does a car disc brake work?
A disc brake is the most common front car brake, and is now often seen on the back too. The system consists of a rotor, a thick, smooth steel disc fixed to the hub and rotating with the wheel. At one side of this rotor is a caliper fitting around part of it and fixed to the knuckle (hub mounting). This caliper contains a hydraulic piston (often two) and two disc pads. These are steel pads faced with about 3/8 inch of friction material. these friction material sides rub on the rotor. When hydraulic pressure is applied via the brake pedal, this forces brake fluid to move the piston out, squeezing the pads, causing them to grip the rotor which then slows down or stops. This is obviously a very simplified description. -Modern systems have all kinds of improvements and innovations.
Brake pads are grinding 2 days after replacing pads when coming to a stop it shakes the entire vehicle then sticks when accelerating?
Sounds like the caliber is sticking. I recommend you replace the front calibers and replace the brake fluid with fresh fluid from an unopened can. The shaking probably means the rotors are warped. Replace the rotors and brake pads along with the calipers on your front brakes you should be fine. I would suspect that your brake fluid has become contaminated with moisture. This moisture will cause the calibers to rust and stick. Make sure you tighten the lug nuts to the torc specifications recommended for your vehicle. Over tightening the Lugnuts will warp the rotors.ANS 2 - If I had that happening 2 days after a change, I'd be looking very seriously about something being done wrongly. Possibly the pads are not fitted properly or are the wrong pattern.
You recently had new brakes put on your car and it has been about 4 months and the brakes are sqeaking a lot when you stop Is this a minor fix?
Usually it's just the brake pads vibrating against the caliper and/or the caliper piston. It's not generally harmful, just annoying. The cure is simple enough, many auto parts stores should carry a small tube of 'anti squeal' or 'disc brake quiet' which is an adhesive designed for use on brake pads. To apply it you must remove the pads and apply small amounts of the adhesive to the BACKS of the pads at the points where they contact the caliper or piston. Reinstall the pads, push the brakes once or twice, and let the adhesive cure for a while (unless the package directions state otherwise). You should notice an immediate lessening or stoppage of the squealing, these products are usually very effective when applied properly. If these products cannot be found, small amounts of either RTV sealant or liquid gasket, applied in the manner mentioned above, can sometimes be effective.
