Stealth Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 my brakes have been pulsating when braking at high speeds for liek 2 years, the rears were totaly replaced liek 2 years ago and the front about 3 I guess, today I decided to buy new front rotors it cost 75$ cdn for the front cause I figured it was the front, It took me a while seeing as how Ive never done it before. and theres absolutly no difference, I just tried it normal and a high speed test, I went 150 kmh as soon as you touch the brakes the whole car shaks violently :x fuckin car its falling apart and I just wanted to fix the pulsations butt it has to be the back brakes :x 75$ wasted Quote
cutlsp Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 sounds like your rear calipers are going bad and warping the rear rotors :? Quote
Stealth Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Posted March 21, 2005 I think like 2 years ago the whole rear system was replaced it cost like 670$ :? Quote
cutlsp Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 yeah they might never have been GOOD rear calipers. since your cutlass is an auto you could convert to the newer rear brakes without to much trouble you just wouldn't have a parking brake :? unless you use a different parking brake setup pm me if you want the details Quote
Stealth Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Posted March 21, 2005 the parkign breake doesnt work anyway opver a year ago I pumped it really hard cause I was on a hill and when I pulled the lever it wouldnt turn go off so I pulled it really ahrd and I heard a loud bang and when I satrted drving the rear brakes were sticking, and it hasnt worked since Quote
1990lumina Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 There's the problem..your brakes are most likely still stuck..and the rear calipers are probably warped to shit! I'd replace them and the calipers and the brake pads as well! - Jeff L. Quote

Stealth Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Posted March 21, 2005 hmm the rear breaks are totaly different from the front I dont have any idea how to work on it Quote
1990lumina Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 I'm pretty sure it isn't to difficult..someone that has done them will chime in for you I'm guessing! - Jeff L. Quote
