ok quick ? do i need a bleed job cause if i brake coming on to a off ramp it starts shaking and it dont brake that good either master clyinder going out dont know help. thanks

 

The shaking has nothing to do with your master cylinder, you probably need new rotors, wheel alignment, or balance.

 

sounds like your rotors are warped

Also.. at what speeds when braking can you feel the vibrations?

 

could be alot of things, most likly ur rotors are warped, might be able to get them resurfaced, prolly need new ones, take it to the stealership (dealership), and get em to do a brake job.

Thats whay everyone is telling me too, im having the same problem, I am either going to replace them or resurface them

 

I'm sorry. I don't even understand what he just said.

 

It's possible that your rotors are warped. It's also possible that you have uneven brake pad deposits on the surface of your rotors, as described here. You could try re-bedding your brake pads as described in that article. If that doesn't work, have your rotors turned or replace them.

(I don't think it's alignment since that doesn't usually show up as a vibration, and I don't think it's wheel balance since it's only happening when you brake.)

 

GUESS imma go get new pads/rotors

 

um why?^^^

Why not? Most likely its just the front ones and they're not too expensive.

cause im in need of new pad and rotor it a old car and the guy i bought it from never maintained it like i do to my cars and plus the pad are giving to much brake dust and turning my white wheels to black

 

man if you're buying new rotors... go through the sposored market place, check it out there's an awesome deal on brembo's!

I AM there is something for 100 with pads

 

Be careful and get all the possibilities inspected before you just start paying to replace stuff.

I recently had my brakes/rotors done (they were just worn out); I had them do the bearing while they were in there since I was getting some weird vibrations at low speeds. Long story short, after I got the car back, the vibrations were gone, but I was getting some crazy shaking when I braked. I thought for sure it was the new rotors that were warped or something. The shop thought it was the pads (probably because they are the quickest/easiest to replace) and replaced the pads first. They did that, the car still shook. Took it back and they ended up replacing the bearing (the new one that they put in), now it's fine after a week or so of driving.

Anyway, I was sure it was the rotors, and the shop was sure it was the pads, and it ended up being the wheel bearing. It totally felt like the rotors and it only shook when I braked.

I'm not saying your problem isn't rotors or pads, I'm just saying to be aware that it may not be what you expect, and to check the wheel bearings as well; maybe other front end components.

Good luck with your repair.

 

True enough, but you can't rely on a mechanic to diagnose your car all the time.. each mechanic analyze's a situation with their own discretion. But chances are it's the rotars... it's when he's braking, probably warped.. and it won't be anything to do with the hydraulic system.

is ok i can do this plus i got air tools now and plus i will not take my car to a mechanic for any thing only for aligments etc.

 

yeah you gotta go get them turned if you still can..the longer you wait the less chance of getting them turned...

 

My brakes used to vibrate if I was going above maybe 40 mph, turns out my front rotors were pretty much dead and my back rotors needed to be turned and i needed new pads all they way around..... expensive.... if you know people that can do this for you, I highly reccommend that, I paid $350 for 2 new rotors, 4 brake pads, and labor for installing and turning back rotors.

 

Definitly diy. It cost me $14 to put new pads in on the front, doing it myself. The rotor shouldn't be super expensive. I'd get slotted ones.

 

i getting the slotted one and i can do this myself for least than that bout 200 with good brake pad/rotors
