ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    91 CB7 Shaking When I Brake

    I have a problem with my steering wheel shaking when I go to stop. Worse at higher speeds. Replaced the rotors, pads, wheel bearings, tie-rods, upper control arms and ball joints and sway bar end links. Do you think these Napa rotors could be the cause of the shaking? Not much else to replace.
    Thanks

      Sounds like you need those new rotors turned.Very common to get warped new rotors.

        I've never heard that. I don't think it would be common place to sell a broken part.

        I'd say replace them or turn them.

            Have you checked the actual brake caliper? It could be that the piston is not compresing all the way and it could cause the brakes to grip more on one side and could cause it to shake. How about your tires and rims are you rims bent anywhere and are your tires evenly wearing out check the tire tread and see if it's even on both sides.

              My rims are not bent. Checked that also. Plus has new winter tires on the car. I have heard of Napa selling bent rotors.

                That has to be one of the coolest ways to separate the hub from the rotor. Never seen it done like that. I used a hub puller when I did my rotors. Thanks for the link. I learned something new today. Does that mean I can go home now...lol

                  Yeah if you used a puller you maay have distroyed the bearings, that willl give you a vibration.

                    Defective Rotor. Even though it brand new.

                    Bring the rotor back and get a replacement. Try not to get a beat up box

                    This happen on my corolla.

                        This is the BEST youtube video ever! Next time I need rotors my laptop is going to the garage with me.

                          If the rotors are refundable then get them replaced... Brembo blanks are what I have on mine and are great... if you get the chance to swap out to a set of them, do it... great value for price...

                            Buy some new rotors and that should fix the problem
