hey guys, so this morning on my way to work i noticed a little shake from my driver side front wheel...so i pulled over to see wut was goin on, and all the lugs were tight and nothing looked bad... so i get back on the road and the shake is still there...i arive at work, and i get a light to get a better look and notice that my rotors and pas where extremely hot i just did front rotors and pads not even 500 miles ago!!! why is this happening and how can i solve the issue??? when i changed the old rotors i greased everything with breake grease, cut holes so more air can get to the breaks. idk wut else to think of im confused haha

 

Warped rotors.. The shop or whoever did your brake job probably over tighten your lugs.. As far as hot brakes.. Thats how you know it's working...

 

Figured it out I think... I did my breaks so I know for a fact they were done correctly.. As for warped rotors I would feel it in the pedal, there is no puls in the pedal.. I put the car in neutral after my ride to work and it was really hard to push and move it while in neutral.. I let it sit for an hour went back and did the same thing and I was able to push with eaz... I'm thinking it's the caliper sticking since it only the driver side

 

#1. Please use correct English. It's painful to read and comprehend your post(s) on this thread.

#2. Sounds like if it's only on one wheel then it truly might be a caliper issue.

 

Lol for #1 I blame my phone

#2 I think its the caliper also... I'm looking into a 350z HR break swap... The stock breaks are garbage

 

I am a member on this forum to learn/solve issues with my car... So please don't critisize my spelling this is not school and I will not be graded on it.. I just wanted some input on what this issue could be! Like I said I'm pretty sure it's the caliper, I will be changing out the old one later tonight.

Thanks

 

*face palm*. It's BRAKES, not BREAKS.

 

My phone is auto correct. It's not as smart as you bud.. It like to spell breaks... So obviously u know what I'm talking about.. And you have been absolutely no help to me at all. So get off my d**k! I don't roll that way

 

Bored. Anyone want a drift car Lolz

 

+1. Sounds like a seized caliper. Did you grease the slide pins when you did your brake job?

 

so you drilled your own rotors?

 

Yes I did grease the slide pins after I cleaned them..lol I actually went a little crazy with the grease just to make sure i got it good... When I pressed the piston back in, it was a lot harder then the passenger side was.. Is that a sign telling me that it could be sticking? I also greased all the points on the BRAKES that rub in the caliper/pads..

 

Yes!!

 

^ dumb move

Maybe you should try adding some speed holes too

 

My breaks get hot during the summer so I kick it in the shade.
