15,000 kms, when i brake my wheel does a little wobble, doesnt pull to any side if i let go, but its slightly annoying, do my front rotors need resurfacing?

 

wheels are torqued to 85 ft lbs confirmed by torque wrench

 

IDK what it is but the same thing happeneds to me in my Cavy

 

Our Cars Are Getting Old. I Think Thats Wha It Is,. Mines Does It Too.

 

I do not know what that is to be honest with you.

 

ive heard that our pads are really stiff and the rotors wear out long before them
my pads are practically brand new but they feel warped, no hard braking or abuse either

 

you need to get your rotors machined they are warped

 

Same problem here, but i really only noticed it after I put my new wheels on which was about 500-1000 miles ago, i thought maybe i dinged up my rotors or something, i dont know what it is.....but yes it is annoying

 

go get ur tires balanced and that will prob take care of it.

 

This happened to my 2.4SS. I took it to the dealer and they resurfaced my rotors under warranty....now after 800 miles the pads are cutting grooves in them again...

 

rotate your tires, and go get them rebalanced

 

shouldnt have anything to do with brake rotors

 

Too Many Hard Applications will cause the brakes to warp.

You need to "Turn" The disks. Call a shop and have them do it.

Then, stop driving like "Speedracer" or upgrade to big brakes.

 

i havent been driving like a speedracer, i read that the pads are way to hard for the rotors on this car and they just chew them up, my pads still look brand new.

and i dont need to rebalance my wheels for the other guy because it only happens when i brake, not when im driving at any speed.

 

^^ Well, no matter what happened, all it takes is one good hard application to overheat the steel and then it is possible that it warped a bit.

Did you ever lend out your car?

It's a fairly cheap process.

 

hmm, well ive got to go for service in about 2000kms or so, ill probably do it then when i get my oil changed

 

The dealer may have to sub-contract that jusb out depending on if they have the ability to do that or not..

 

its a big dealer id assume they have the ability to turn rotors lol

 

Your rotors are warped, your dealer will machine them or replace them at no cost to you. It's warranty work do not pay.

 

seems like a lot of 2.4's are getting premature warped rotors. Mine just started at about 8k and its definaly not from abuse. Take it to the dealer, most have said they replaced them under warrentee, or get aftermarket rotors.

 

is it actually? i thought rotors were wear items, but my pads look brand new and i can already see grooves in my rotors

 

The rotors arent worn out they are defective. I worked at dealership in the service dept we replaced warped rotors under warranty.

 

kk, well if they give me a hard time im going to your dealership!!!!

 

Demand new rotors instead of resurfacing

 

lol, I dont work in the industry anymore, but you can go where I used to work and tell them I sent you.
