Would the brakes and rotors make a horrible noise just driving down the road with out braking?
Yes. Brakes can make noise even when you are not applying actual braking force. Some examples of this include foreign objects that have been lodged in between the caliper and the rotor. This can be something as small as a pebble that is lodged between the two or something more serious.
In addition I have seen calipers with the piston falling out of them due to neglect. this is not only dangerous it is quite loud. In either case you should have the wheels removed and the brakes inspected for possible damage or foreign objects.
What else can I help you with?
Driving on bad rotors?
There will be a pulsating on braking.
What would cause a 2003 maxima to shake when hitting the brakes?
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.
Why do my brakes shudder when I apply pressure to them?
Your brakes may shudder when you apply pressure to them due to warped brake rotors. Warped rotors can cause uneven braking and vibrations, leading to the shuddering sensation. It is recommended to have your brakes inspected and repaired by a professional mechanic to ensure safe driving.
Brakes pulsate and vibrate when stopping it is worse if you are turning while braking?
For the brakes, check for warped rotors. For the turning, check for worn CV joints.
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.
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 Volvo S70 shake at driver side while braking?
You need to check your brakes and rotors. Typically when the rotors go out it will make any car/ truck do that.
When applying brakes the car pulses?
Either the rotors have deposits, or the ABS is kicking in. Either is evidence of aggressive braking.
What are the differences between brake rotors and disc brakes, and how do they affect the performance of a vehicle?
Brake rotors are the flat, metal discs that the brake pads press against to slow down the vehicle, while disc brakes refer to the entire braking system that includes the rotors, pads, calipers, and other components. The design and material of the rotors can affect the braking performance of a vehicle, with factors such as size, weight, and cooling capabilities influencing how effectively the brakes can stop the vehicle. Upgraded rotors can improve braking performance by providing better heat dissipation and reducing brake fade during heavy use.
Why can brakes make noise even when not braking?
Brakes can make noise even when not braking due to factors like worn brake pads, rust on the rotors, or debris caught in the braking system. These issues can cause friction and vibrations, leading to noise when the vehicle is in motion.
How can I ensure my car's brakes are properly maintained and functioning effectively to ensure safe driving?
To ensure your car's brakes are properly maintained and functioning effectively for safe driving, regularly check brake fluid levels, inspect brake pads and rotors for wear, listen for any unusual noises while braking, and have your brakes professionally inspected and serviced as recommended by the manufacturer.
Why does steering wheel vibrate when brakes are applied?
This is probably due to worn brake rotors on the brakes, if there is no vibration when driving then this will be the cause.
