What does it mean to machine the brake rotors and drum brakes?
The rotors in disc brakes and the drums are what the pads and shoes rub against to stop a car. With use, the surface can get grooves in it or a build up of rust scale; reducing the braking efficiency. To machine the rotors and drums, they are put on a lathe that cuts a new smooth surface on the face of each. Depending on wear, any given rotor or drum can probably be turned 2 or 3 times before needing to be replaced.
Why is your hot glue sticks turning purple after you try to put smooth rocks on your birdhouses?
Because dirt hose on the glue and makes it change color.
Do you turn brake rotors every time you replace pads?
Not if no shake or bounce upon braking, grooves in rotor shorten pad life,if braking is smooth just pads wore out, put a fresh set on don`t look back Not if no shake or bounce upon braking, grooves in rotor shorten pad life,if braking is smooth just pads wore out, put a fresh set on don`t look back Not if no shake or bounce upon braking, grooves in rotor shorten pad life,if braking is smooth just pads wore out, put a fresh set on don`t look back
Does Kristen Stewart have thick hair or thin?
Kristen Stewart had VERY thick hair that is very hard to copy. :)
Is smooth an adjective?
Yes (as in After shaving, he had a smooth face again).It means relatively free from friction, not rough or coarse.
Is it necessary to cut brake rotors when changing pads. The rotors are cross-drilled and slotted?
If rotors are smooth and shiny, they are good. If still not certain, ask at brake shop.
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.
Does the specs on the rear rotor of the 2003 pt cruiser have factory groves for the pads?
The rotors should be smooth, no grooves where the pads touch.The rotors should be smooth, no grooves where the pads touch.
Why are your disk brakes still grind after they were changedit's a 2002 Dodge ram 1500?
if there is uneven wear on the rotors, the new pads will take time to wear into the grooves on the rotors. rotors in poor condition will reduce the efficiency of your brakes, and promote wear of the pads, you will end up changing them more often. Most brake shops can turn rotors back to being smooth and true.
What is the cs button for in your 2005 Mercedes E320?
The "C" is for comfort, this adjust the ride for a more comfortable and smooth acceleration and deceleration, smoother turning, etc.The "S" is for standard ride.
Specs after turning the rotors on 2001 maxima?
Brake rotor specs are specified by the manufacturer. It is measured with a micrometer and if too thin via specs, will overheat causing a serious brake fade and loss of braking ability. Other problems could be that the rotor overheats and either warps or breaks~neither good. Turning the rotors is a process of rough cut and smooth cut that is supposed to take minimal amounts of metal off to make it an even surface for your brake pads to brake against. Most manufacturers today produce rotors that are not really able to be turned. So new rotors made be the only answer if yours are bad.
Could you inform me about Brembo rotors?
Brembo is a brand that makes car parts and equipment. There stock rotors as well. Their street rotors seem to have a good reputation and are reliable. Very smooth ride, quiet, withstand high stress and temperatures.
Would not getting your rotors turned when putting new front brake pads on 99 infiniti qx4 cause it to act like its miss firing?
You don't need to compulsorily turn the rotors every time the pads are changed. Turning is required only if the rotor (or disc) is warped, badly scratched or heavily rusted. Smooth concentric circles are usually normal unless heavily ridged (and this requires turning). Remember though that turning the rotor many times will eventually require replacing it as there is a minimum safe thickness to which is can be turned. Any thinner will warrant replacement.
What could cause a 2001 jeep cherckee to shimmy really heard when braking from 55 miles and hour?
possibly warped rotors.Feels for grooves on the rotors(when rotors are cool,your rotors should be smooth ) if you feel them you need to replace them,and dont forget to replace your pads too.Worn pads grind your rotors and ruin them.
On a 1996 Honda Accord do the rotors have to be turned on the car or can they be removed and taken to a machine shop?
Rotors are always turned off the vehicle. They are put on a lathe and a thin sheet of metal is removed to make the surface smooth again.
How can I rotate rotors to ensure optimal performance of my vehicle?
To ensure optimal performance of your vehicle, you can rotate the rotors by following these steps: Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands. Remove the wheels to access the rotors. Use a wrench to loosen the bolts holding the rotors in place. Rotate the rotors by hand to check for any uneven wear or damage. If needed, replace the rotors with new ones. Reassemble the wheels and lower the vehicle. Test drive the vehicle to ensure smooth braking performance.
How can you ensure a smooth transition when changing your signature?
When changing your signature, ensure a smooth transition by practicing your new signature, updating important documents and accounts with the new signature, and informing relevant parties about the change.
