weird problem when braking
could this be the pads, when i apply the brakes it rattles the more i press it the more rattle and shakes its kinda weird im guessing its my pads and a lil need of alignment cuz my brakes dont stop the car as good as usual. Can it be fluid ? brake fluid
Warped rotors, mainly. Could be worn suspension components contributing to the problem. If there is enough thickness to the rotors, resurfacing is an option when installing your new pads. Use a torque wrench whenever remounting wheels to avoid the problem in the future. I believe it is 80lb/ft for almost all Hondas.
It is always a good idead to check the hub face for debris. Debis between the hub face and the rotor can cause rotor runout, which is usually misinterpreted as a warped rotor.

that's a bunch of BS. The rotors on my mom's Avalon were warped to hell, my buddy turned them and they were like new again. I know they were warped because when he put them on the machine and adjusted the cutting tip to barely touch the rotor surface, it actually touched the surface only part-way around the rotor as it spun. He had to adjust it in a few microns farther in order to cut materail the whole way around the rotor.

I personally have never had a warped rotor. The few microns could have been pad material like stated in the article. Did the rotor contact only on one side or were there raised spots all over the face?

there be something wrong where ur ABS is over reacting too. thats probaly not the situation but if the other resolutions dont work you might want to look into it further
