Hey'a all,

When I am driving about 50-60MPH and begin to apply brakes (not hard, just light braking) I am feeling that my steering wheel begins to vibrarate in my hands.
Does it mean my rotors are getting wrapped and I need new pads?
I really hope this is the case, and not some serious mechanical problem.
about 25K miles ago they resurfaced my rotors and gave me new pads, I mostly drive city, so it probably makes sense that they went bad

 

Yes. I'm a newbie owner, but I understand rotor warpage is common on our rides. I'd run a search here to find out others' experiences.

 

If it only happens during braking, then it's warped rotors. Whenever you replace the rotors you need to replace the pads as well. The warped rotors don't have anything to do with the pads, though.

 

ya man its almost a lost cause...mine were doing it about 3 months ago and i replaced them and its really smooth for a while but it creeeps on back cause mine shakes like a ghetto girls booty now so im just gonna say the hell with it

 

I agree, had mine replaced under warranty when i got the car and it started again 1 month later.

 

yeah, I had had mine re-surfaced under warranty as well, only 25K miles ago.... but warranty is over, and my dealer won't give me any *goodwill* discounts and etc...
anyway, do you think I could have my rotors resurfaced the 2nd time, or they should be replaced.
I have my friend mechanic, and I take my car to his shop. I'am thinking of getting Honda OEM rotors & pads, and having him install it for me.

 

Get rotora, its the best thing i have bought for my car, i only got the front because i didnt care about preformance i just wanted the warping to stop!

 

If I had a rotor problem w/o a warranty, I'd do exactly what you just said. I'd see if the existing rotors could be cut, and if not, I'd get some OEM replacements installed.

 

Tim, every time I see your avatar, it makes me smile...

 

me too

i just had the same problem on my 98 2.3 cl, i had the front rotors turned yesterday,and it took care of the problem

 

Mine is same. I bought the car and it started shaking only when going from a low to speed to a high speed quickly. Got the motormounts replaced. Started shaking again. And now its shaking when I brake. Im not a happy camper

 

im gonna try rotora next...anyone have problems after going to rotora's with warpage? what pads are yall using with the rotoras?

 

FYI, the Brembo blanks will ALSO warp. Mine just did with the Satsfied Pro Ceramic pds after about 15k miles. I got some Hawk HPS pds so I had the Brembo's turned and put hawks in. Warp is gone but we'll see for how long.

 

Mine are now starting to vibrate at 25k miles. I had them machined due to dragging pads because of rust on the rotors ~ 8k ago. I dont know whether or not to take it to the monkeys at the dealership, but I dont feel like speding $200 in rotors/pads already.
