Hey guys if you have a car that vibrates when hitting the brake this is the right video for you. Wrapped disc brake rotors will cause vibration in the steering wheel and the whole car over time. If you notice some vibrations when going 75mph and you hit the brake and you notice vibrations in the steering wheel it is very likely that you have wrapped brake rotors. You will be able to notice it at lower speeds as well. It will be filling like pulsing.

How they charge you for rectify de rotors? And where

[@cunklemick]

Most the cars that have shuddering when braking have got worn control arm bushes. The front wheels go berserk like a shopping trolley wheel and you feel this at the steering wheel.

[@mahdial4600]

I agree I have the same issue bushing definitely looks shot

[@Aurora_belt]

This is my exact problem. You just saved me the cost of a suspension check. Thank you!

[@demimendez1513]

Thanks for the advice man!I had to replace my rotors and my truck feels excellent now when I brake.No more shaking!Nice video!Thanks!

[@robj7481]

When replacing your rotors, remember, new rotors can be warped and uneven right out of the box!! This can cause "surging" when you press the brake peddle, even at very low speed you'll feel the car jerking. So it's a smart practice to consider turning rotors, even when they're new, before installing them.

[@banaweekidane2630]

What does turning rotors mean ?

[@sandy-oj2nm]

@@banaweekidane2630 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYjSdqScgrytsLc

[@sucker661000]

@@banaweekidane2630turning rotors means machine rotors flat. You don’t need to turn brand new rotors, they were already turned because there new.

[@pv88085]

What about tbe other side brake assembly. How did you come to know which side brake needs attention/levelling.

[@mikearthut781]

You also use a c-clamp to compress the caliper. put old back pad on caliper surface, and use c-clamp to compress piston back.

[@carlosk8103]

Only problem is a lot of places don't wanna turn rotors anymore... They'd rather just sell you new ones... Prices are like 15-25$ to turn and like 20-50$ for new so there not too much of a difference...... Some might say new rotors could be wrapped but it's also true that some newbie could botch up the turning especially if you take it to a chain store where they got some part-timer on the lathe...... Also if your rotor are 5- 10 years just get new ones...

[@drenels10]

Rotors for my car are 80 for the front and 60 for the rear. That’s the cheapest I’ve seen. So when it comes to spending $100 at most to turn vs $380 to replace, that’s a big difference lol

[@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303]

But is it worth your life on each amount? Think about going 70 mph and needing to stop on a dime with the unsettling shaking. Chances are you are going to be paying hundreds more if you get into an accident.

[@roryjoseph7645]

rust and dirt getting between rotor and hub will cause vibrations, when installing new rotors make sure to clean that area :)

[@thesniperofcs]

you need to sand the brake pads too to make it flat and even, because it will put uneven pressure on the rotors and you will need to do this job again soon, if the brake pads are under the half it's better to put new pads oem or greater. I use caborator cleaner to unstuck the rotors from the hub. thank you for the video and keep on upload more videos 👍

[@AutoRepairGuys]

Great advice. Thanks for sharing!

[@DT200LC]

thesniperofcs what number # of sandpaper for this job ?

[@caspernotsofriendly1803]

Thank you for posting, Heading out to check my car now. Saved me time and money! : )

[@furiousstylze1]

To do this the right way, get new rotors new pads, brake pad lubricant, clean and lubricate all slides and brake pad guides..... Done!!!!

[@CrowT]

@Charles H Geis IV If your rotors are so screwed up and warped that your steering wheel is vibrating...its unlikely having them turned will fix the problem. Mine were doing this last year and no shop around here would even do it. Just replaced them and the pads🤷‍♂️

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Agreed that turning them will smooth out the braking issue. BUT, turning rotors removes material, and the reduced mass will allow them to get hotter more quickly, which could result in the same runout or warpage even more quickly than before. But yes, if you can get them turned properly for ten bucks a piece, by all means do that, but I didn’t know it was that cheap.

[@Desmodromic916]

You need to separate caliper from the carrier in order to lubricate the sliding pins, so the brake force can be even on both sides of disc. If sliders are jammed, it could be the cause of vibration. Judging by the condition of disc and torex bolt, it seems that someone did a poor brake service recently. I would not be surprised if vibrations return after a while. Best regards.

[@Monstacheeks]

I just got new Rotors and brake pads and it solved the problem. Car has 150K miles.

[@kashifs4022]

Saved lot of money just by doing exactly what you show and said.just buy new pads and fixed the rotors.the rotors surface was un even and pads were old.thanx

[@keangfamily]

If you want to keep the car for long time, you should replace the rotors and brake pads with brand new one. It’s the best to do it and for safety reasons.

[@TSIXGaming]

How do you work out which wheel has the uneven disc?

[@kennethdandurand3472]

One other thing that can cause the shaking of the steering wheel, is the brake show pins being bad. One I had was that the top pin was not cleaned/greased when it was out for a brake AND rotor replacement. The top pin moved ever so slightly but would not come out. So, a year later, it was frozen. All I had to do was remove the pin (hard, but it came out) and cleaned the pin and bore with brake parts cleaner and then I greased it. Tested smooth as a baby bottom, and no more shaking.

[@mokwenyeanthony4207]

hey guys thanks for the video . my corolla 2015 sport really vibrated when I break. so what i needs to be done is to sand pepper the Rotor to give it a newer surface?

[@deasttn]

You can try that, but Corolla rotors are dirt cheap

[@johnmicofontanilla2238]

How will you which sidebis the one making the steering wheel vibrate?

[@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303]

The only issue is I am going to have to go to one of the mechanics where I am at and they are probably going to make me think I will have to buy 4 new rotors. Maybe they will be nice enough to shave the rotors I have so that it is smooth.

[@marisgmarisg]

Hey. How do you know witch exactly wheel is "damaged" and have to be repaired? Maybe its all four :D

[@SeanDIY]

When you turn a rotor it thins out the material and the heat makes it more likely to warp. Just replace the rotors and pads.

[@marcuswartenbe3116]

Did you have to change all four out or just the front??

[@doitall8877]

Good video, but it should say, just buy a new disc rotor

[@covinhas87]

I have the same on my R36 When you go fast and hit the brakes it starts to vibrate. Maybe cheap disks?

thanks man my dad's car is shaking when I brake I'll try this

Haha its Frenchy from Talladeganights lol 😂😂

[@frostpistol]

Nice job dude ,thumbs up

[@slpip]

The brake rotor is damaged by heat caused the rotor wobble. It is not worth to fix it. Go to ebay get a set of new rotors with ceramic brake pads. The new rotor has a ventilation hole and slots can run cooler. The ceramic pads are much cooler and better stop distance.

[@garthrichert5256]

Thank you. Very helpful. You are a good guy.

Is the guy who do the work on the video from Bulgaria? He got a traditional bracelet that bulgarians wear in the spring (starting March 1st) ... Its called Marteniza. Is that what is it? Great video bw 👍

[@Fredsss]

My steering wheel does not shake, but car stutters when braking from lower speeds, also starts to go little right when letting go the steering wheel, any ideas?

[@atoiler1389]

In this video, the recommendation is to have your brake rotors turned (milled flat).

Can my front rotors be warped and my rear rotors be fine?

A glossy finish does not cause brake pads to vibrate. Research these key terms: "Disc thickness variation" (DTV) and "lateral run-out."

[@winstonleighton1358]

A very high grade ( thin) sandpaper is what i used by applying a rotary type motion when sanding. Also ,,, i do this on my brake pads.

hi I got BMW E39 I had a problem with the shaking sterling Queen I replace the rotors and the wheel hubs I checked all the bushes bushes I done the alignment and still a shaken can you help me what is the problem it's shaking I'm turning left without touching the brake pedal

[@pczapp827]

Wheel Alignment does not correct shaking,vibration,squealing or anything else, unless it was not done correctly previously,a little tire wear issue may be corrected but without replacing the worn parts that cause all vehicle issues, your wasting your money on alignment, expecting it to somehow fix a mechanical wear issues or bent parts

[@milkyway6724]

could be the rotors, wheel bearing, steering rod, sway bar links, brake pads, control arms, bent rims or uneven tyres

I have a vibration on steering wheel, only when brakes are hot, like going down a mountain pass, even at lower speeds like 60 km/ hour. Should i also go through the same process or can it be something else?

[@tyronewalker5764]

The shaking i feel coming from the rear regardless of braking speed. Any ideas?

[@soupvfx570]

When brakes become warped due to heat they expand Causing the warping going around the car but the most being around where the cause of the issue is

I have 2004 camery i got the same problem would say that i buy new spare parts better cuz my car is old old ?..!!!

"Don"t Hit The Rotor".. So he knocks it off from behind on the rotor with a hammer !!!!! ?????

[@SebaRey301]

Hi, I have a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T. And my problem is that the steering wheel vibrates (not the brake pedal) only when I apply medium pressure to the brakes at 50-60 km/h. At high speeds and lower speeds it doesn't do it. This problem began when I changed all rotors, brake pads and rotated the wheels (both of the rears to the front keeping each one on the same side of the car as the owners manual says). I wirebrushed both front hubs so the rotor sits flush, inspected rotors and pads, brake caliper doesn't stick. Also checked both steering end rod and links.

[@daliborlaganin4582]

Did you figure out what was the problem, same thing happening to my honda civic?

[@neilt7145]

Wouldn't let that Cowboy anywhere near my car... Using a screwdriver and hammer? Change the Discs / Rotors and the Pads at the same time, you can't get the Discs / Rotors skimmed and then put the old pads back on?

[@mannyman874]

Nice work

[@e3LiiZABe3TH]

Changed break pads and rotors and my Mazda steering wheel still shakes like crazy when I slow down from 60 to like 40 then from 40 down slowing down it doesn’t shake idk what else to do 😅

[@nolaskoguzman3320]

The same problem happen with de rear discs???? Or only front ????

[@petew8238]

Just as easy to buy new rotors. Why go through all that when getting new ones is much simpler. Unless you have to machine to do it. It is not worth it in the long run.

[@justynaa.5501]

Why replace any part. Get a new car lol 😊

[@rustyme1122]

Some people just have money to burn. I have rotors turned at a local shop for $25 per pair. New ones are $40 each. Do the math.

[@joeweaver9913]

Some of the brand new rotors you can buy are so poorly made that they will do this almost immediately after installing them.

[@makhmudik19]

Steering shake coyld be due to many other reasons..tyre imbalance, worn bushes, work column

[@amjathkhan2004]

Hello Mr. Jaswinder. The steering wheel on my car shakes when I apply brakes above 120kmph, it works well in normal speed. I had replaced all my tyres last month, so I thought it could be due to the the imbalance of the new tyres. But even after the balancing was done last week, it still vibrates. I am not really sure what's causing the problem. The mechanic told me that if it's the warped rotors, then the shake will happen at low speed as well. So, I don't know where to start. Can you please tell me what are the other things I should check? Or maybe one or more tyres are defective? It's a Chevy optra magnum which has done 98K Kms on the odo. Thank you for your help!

[@wossenalemu7488]

But how do you know which one of the four rotor cause the problem

[@lonnierichman1013]

What if it rear shakes around 35 mph after you put new pads on. And I smell burning and my right wheel is hot and I smell burning

[@greaseaddiktz3217]

That Lil impact looks like it fits in tuff spots

[@FabianMartinez-er3xq]

What brand is that impact wrench? Where did you buy it?

[@zacharyparis]

your rotors are not warped. they never are. the vibration is caused by uneven distribution of brake pad material on the rotor. you just need to bed the pads correctly when they are new.

[@sltgirl219]

I was thinking that I needed rear brakes but today my wheel started vibrating. I don't need rotors too?

[@zacharyparis]

Sheneitra Howard vibration under braking and just being due for new brakes are separate issues. if you are due for new brakes then the proper way to do it is to get new pads and rotors at the same time. whether you resurfaced or replace the rotors just be sure to bed the pads correctly.

[@sltgirl219]

@@zacharyparis ok thanks Zachary I'll replace both.

[@guy858]

NOT true..... chuck those rotors up and see if they run TRUE.. guarantee you will have some RUN -OUT in them.. very common these days.. brake rotors are smaller overall to save weight, too much heat build up causes warp-age easily depending how aggressive people drive braking wise ... and the thinner they get from machining the MORE they will warp because they can't release the heat... I have machined HUNDREDS of rotors over the years and YES they have run-out

[@zacharyparis]

rotors do not warp due to heat. no normal person will ever get steel rotors hot enough to warp. i have been tracking my cars for the last ten years on steel rotors. repeated braking from 100+ miles per hour all day around the track creating extremely hot brakes... and not one warped rotor. the run out variance is due to the rotor not being perfectly flush with the hub. the other most common issue that causes vibration is an uneven distribution of brake pad material on the rotor.

[@KayKashi]

I feel it randomly like it drives completely smooth then steering wheel shakes like crazy even when I’m not braking. This happened after changing front and rear brakes

[@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303]

From my experience, the rotor will be the culprit if you are stopping. If it does this even when not braking, it could be the brake caliper.

How about checking wear in front suspension bushes or seized front brake callipers. The disc’s are blue proving that you’ve either got seized brake pads or a sticking brake calliper. I would call you very un professional and you’ve also got a leaking front shock absorber. I wouldn’t employ you. You talk a load of rubbish as other faults can or cause damage to brake disc’s.

The normal person, who does not know how to remove parts from his/her own car, is probably going to have to pay a fortune to get new ones. But honestly, whether you take the cheaper way out of getting them shaved or you get new ones; your life is worth it.
