How do i know if my rollers need to be changed or not?

 

Rollers?

 

i dont know..my front right wheel vibrates a little when i brake @ around 70+.....i thought it was the break pads..so i changed them...but the problem is still there. Someone told me it was the rollers?...i dont even know what that is....he just told me to go to the mechanic and ask them to fix the "rollers"

 

It's ROTORS.. that's the actual disc that the brake pads press against to stop the car. If they have an uneven contact patch then you get vibration when you press the brakes. This is a very, very common problems on Hondas and Acuras. You will need to either have them resurfaced or have them replaced. By the way, you need to do pads at the same time in order to make sure it doesn't happen again..

Right away, that is. It WILL happen again. I don't think there is any hope for the stock setup... although I've got 7000 miles on my current set of pads and rotors and no vibrations.

 

wow. i would be nervous that your out there driving in a car that you changed the pads on.

good luck fixing the vibration. don't slam on the brakes, apply pressure slowly and evenly and this helps not warping rotors

 

I always apply smooth and even pressure on my brakes and my stock setup is fine after 7000 miles since they were replaced. I'll slam them on if I have to... but not for the hell of it. TCS kicks in a lot here, though, and I'm not sure how hard that is on the rotors.
