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:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    strange brake vibration

    hi, I just changed my front rotor/pads/caliper/bearing/hub on one side and rotor/pads/bearing on the other.

    now when I first start to press down on the brake at speeds above 40, there is a massive vibration and i can see the steering wheel shake, but when i continue to press down on the pedal harder to come to a complete stop it stops perfect with no vibration.

    On the caliper that I didnt replace, I made sure the piston was moving and greased the slide bolts. I did not have this problem before replacing all these parts

    any idea what might be causing the problem? thanks.

    Did you break in the pads and rotors properly? Improper break-in could result in glazed pads and rotors, causing vibration, inconsistent braking, etc...

    What brand rotors did you use? If they were cheapies, it's possible that they were warped to begin with (though I don't see that correcting itself with increased pressure...)

      ^ x2. I just replaced my front rotors for the same reason. Also, if you're planning on getting new rotors, solid rotors will be just fine. IMO, slotted/drilled rotors just have more stress points where they can crack or warp.

        Do you have ABS...? Please say no.
