chadz34 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 OK, first off, when I apply the brakes the right side of the car vibrates, it can't be the pads or rotors because I changed them thinking that was the problem, guess not. And, the other problem is, when you are driving I can hear a slight squeel until I even slightly apply the brakes then it goes away. Anyone know what my problems are? Thanks!

slick Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Did you put anti-squeal on when you did your pads and rotors? That could cause the squeak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 did you replace all the rotors? are the wheels properly torqued (100ft-lbs with a torque wrench)? If not, check your wheel bearings. The sqealing is caused by the compound of your brake pads exciting the natural frequency of the rotor. Its very unlikely that it will go away completely, even if you use any kind of anti-sqeal grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Does the car pull to the right when you step on the brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcutty Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Check to make sure you have the proper torque on the caliper mounting bolts. If they are loose, this will cause some serious problems in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
