Brakes

I just put new rotors and pads on my car. It stops good but from 35 mph there is a crazy vibration going on. any ideas?

Re: Brakes

I would first check all the calipers and make sure everything is installed correctly. i have heard of new rotors being slightly uneven, that could cause the vibration, but that would be a defective product and you should be able to return it for a good set. Where is the vibration coming from? I assume it's just when your braking?

Re: Brakes

its really not a vibration. when stopping from 35 mph and down there is like a vrooooooooooooooo sound until like 15 mph. any ideas. its not a warping issue i don't think.lol. who knows at this point i am just frustrated i did all that work and it is like that.

Re: Brakes

so kind of a humming sound? You may just need to break into your new brakes. How long has it been doing this?
