The Importance of Brake Bleeding!

Hi hi Fellow Aziners!


Well from a Week ago or so I have been having alot of Undesired Brake Vibrations while well Braking? So alot of us Know that the TL is not Kind with Rotors so my First tought was: DAMN I have yet Warped another set of Rotors!

So I began searching over Da "Internet" for a brand new set of Front Rotors when it Hit me! Why would I get only Vibration from my Drivers side and not evenly? If the rotors where warped they BOTH had to be warped under Normal Situations. But Nope I only had Vibration under my Drivers Side (The left side of the Car wobbled alot more than Passengers Side!).

Well with the little I had from my last Brake Bleed got over
-250ml of Motul 5.1 began to Bleed the Front Left Legend Caliper to find ALOT of Air Bubbles! dunno where this come from but Feel like the Air began to Screw the Function of the ABS system and started to apply alot of More Pressure to the Drivers side Hence the Vibration like Pulses thats why I tought I had Warped the Rotors..

Results! After I only Bleed my Drivers Side Caliper the Vibration is Gone the Braking feels Smooth and Even again..
Now I need to buy more Brake Fluid since I could not do full Bleed, Normally I need about half Liter or a lil More to do the Full Car.


Thats my For anymore that has Vibration coming only from 1 Side of your brakers!!!

FYI, rotors do NOT have to be warped in pairs. Only one can be

How can you tell which 1 is wrong? When I have warped rotors they always "Cut" both....

As you should cut both so that they are the same thickness. You dont replace just one tire if one is worn a little more than the other. You dont replace 1 hid if one is starting to go. Always done in pairs.

brake fluid SHOULD be flushed every year for max brake effectiveness

It MUST be done every 3 years if you want to save replacement of calipers~
