Rubbing brake pads
Rubbing brake pads
I have just replaced the front rotors 360 x 32mm and pads DS2500 today, the only concern is the drivers side was a bit tight on the disc and slightly rubbing when driving. I`m taking it very gentle hoping they loosen off, is this going to overheat new pads and glaze them or should i try something else?
RE: Rubbing brake pads
Sticky caliper?
An update with new problems. The pads stopped rubbing soon enough but now i have a couple of issues. Fisrtly when cruising at about 75 for no apparent reason i`m occasionally getting a vibration which feels like badly balanced wheels, if i slow slightly then build up speed again its gone. If i apply the brakes gently when this vibration is present i get quite bad judder on steering as if discs are warped. This judder is also present when just applying the brakes above 80 but not so bad. Also i`m getting judder when slowing down but only in the last few yards and braking softly. Does all this mean my new disc are knackered?
FWIW, these were the exact symptoms I had on my old BMW when I had a sticky caliper.
I know you say yours are quite new though... Is either wheel getting hot? (I mean too hot to touch hot - careful!)
