Filthy Focker!

Changed front pads on 2002 civic... Rotors looked fine, no run out....

Now when brakes are hot, i get a virbration issue when i press the brake pedal. I hear vibration coming out of that wheel... No vibration in the pedal, just the noise. Brakes work fine, no pulling to one side...

Have you ever run across this?
If so, any hints?

You should always have the rotors resurfaced (turned) when you replace your pads.

Did you properly "seat" the new pads? Lots of easy stops for like 300-400 miles? (Depending on the pad of course.)


OK wait. You hear vibration? Can you feel it in the steering wheel? If not you probably have something loose like a lug nut or the caliper itself. Make sure everything it tight.

don't get the rotors resurfced just get new ones. I had warped rotors and had them resurfaced twice within 6 months, once they are fucked they are done. Just spend the extra money and get new ones, go bigger if you want. But resurfacing them is only good if they aren't warped already...

He said the rotors weren't warped. It's totally retarded to replace the rotor just because the pads are worn out. Especially when you can get them resurfaced for like 5 bucks a rotor.

I guess, I just don't think most everyday brakes places do that great a job, and end up screwing them up more. Also the resurfacing thins them down making them a bit more suseptable for warping...

Get new ones, good ones and leave the worries...
