I have a 1995 Chevrolet c 1500, 2wd and I'm having some serious braking issues. When I press the brake pedal the truck attaches to the left then snatches to the right then kinda clears up. I cant figure out what is causing this. It has newer calipers on it those were done maybe 4-5 months ago

I haven't warped a rotor in over a decade, even with heavy duty use. Buy quality parts & USE A TORQUE WRENCH on your lugs EVERY TIME! If its going in the shop, insist they torque lugs to spec before they even begin. Oh & dont forget to "rev up" (pump) your brakes before you drive away after a brake job so you don't warp your car. Like this comment so more people hopefully see it.

[@ClusterHeadSurvivor]

Great time to inspect and lubricate caliper slider pins, Excellent video Scott

[@davidjames666]

ClusterHeadSurvivor Many times I have seen rust under or behind the rubber slider sleeves. When the rubber is in place, it is being squashed by the rust bubbles, thus squeezing the pin while its inside the rubber sleeve. This will cause uneven resistance between the top pin and bottom pin which will cause a shutter.

[@MrSamadolfo]

🤓 yes i posted a comment on it, its so easy, dont b F lazy, pull off boots and pins, inspect clean replace, relube only with clear nonreacting 'Silicone Grease' and install, make sure when u finish that the pin slides freely in & out, thats how she likes it! 😍😂

[@harrybusche6551]

Any other extremely useful tips?

[@ahmadghosheh3104]

Good video. Only thing missing is that before compressing the caliber you need to open the brake fluid reservoir to allow for back pressure. It makes pressing it a lot easier when you aren't fighting the pressure. Also lubricate the caliber slider pin since it's out now, a lot of rotor damage happen when the pins aren't sliding properly and wearing the rotor unevenly.

[@bijnor67]

Don’t take your car to a KZbin mechanic.

[@cbrrebates]

Not true. The brake fluid reservoir cap is not sealed. I agree lubricating the caliber slider pin.

[@GG-ml3vr]

You know its a calliper right?

Thanks Scotty, I had an issue with a 2002 Pontiac Grand AM GT. The front brake rotors would warp after a month or two service. After doing some research I bought a pair of drilled and slotted rotors and never had the problem again.

[@wrong2h8]

You're my favorite mechanic to watch on KZbin, BUT I noticed something you did not do that I always do and I NEVER have anybody come back saying something squeels, sticks, and rattles. And that is clean and relube the caliper slides. You could argue that it doesn't need done everytime, it's just preventative maintenance and a quick step above and beyond what 99 percent of mechanics do! Lol I can't tell you how many time I talk to people who got their brakes done and I meet them and they find out I do brakes and they always say they have a grinding and 9 times out of 10 it's caliper slides. Just something I do! And still a great video Scotty!

[@traderjoes8725]

I also found it very helpful to grind down the surface of the wheel hub before the new brake disc comes on. Otherwise it could be that rust / dirt will lead to the same unbalance when the disc is heated. The surface of the wheel hub can be cleaned with a wire brush or fine sand paper to remove any dirt that may have formed.

[@bijnor67]

Okay Scotty won’t take you as a customer. You can do it yourself since you know about brakes. You are right about what you wrote.

[@martinp.9853]

I had this problem with my Subaru, I just googled the issue and decided it was the warped rotors so I changed both front rotors and problem solved. I'm glad Scotty finally uploaded a diy video , haven't seen one in a while.

[@up648]

Just a couple of pointers. One sometimes it isn’t necessary to replace rotors when they can be spun with a lathe so long as it does not exceed or meet its minimum thickness, however still highly recommend replacing brake pads. Next if your going to replace the brake pads when you plan on depressing the pistons inwards it’s a good idea to remove the brake reservoir filler cap as it can make pushing the pistons in a lot easier and minimizes the chance of damaging the master brake cylinder. Just my thoughts.

[@mrcomplex23]

What if the car sits for some time (weeks, months) and after that it shakes the steering wheel and pulsates the brake pedal while braking like crazy but after driving it a few hundred miles it gets better and vibrates less? I can still feel it, but I swear it's not as bad as it was about 1000 miles ago. The car still brakes fine though. (The car is 1995 Volvo 850.)

[@b18citr]

Great video Scotty. As usual very well explained and educational. Your better off with a magnetic dial indicator. But you and most people reading this already know this. One other thing. If the Vehicle is equipped with rear drums . Even if you just installed new drums and shoes. If the star wheel adjuster isn't adjusted properly. When you apply the brakes, the pedal will pulsate. It's very easily missed. This is the same procedure for emergency parking brake shoes for vehicles that use rear disc with the parking brakes shoes located on the inside of the rotor . And I have to mention. I love your take on Lexus. New vehicles in general have gone down hill. I'm a proud owner of a 2003 Lexus GS 300 and it's an amazing luxury vehicle. Little maintenance will take you a long way. Also the GS 400 and 430 are also gems. These were almost 80k back in the day. Now you can find one under 200,000klm for under 7k. I could go on and on about these. Your getting a lot for your money.

It's Rotor time ! I used drilled and slotted replacement rotors, works great and last long time. Dad told me to take the top off the break master cylinder too because when you're pressing those calipers back in break fluid will be going back into the reservoir and depending how long since the last time you messed with the break system you may have some over flow.

I see some of them so cheap, but I wonder about their durability. Thanks! William from Connecticut

[@williamwhite9767]

Yes, release the brake pedal just before hitting a bump. It reduces stress on the front suspension and the rear. Some HF tools are durable. I have two 1/2" air impact wrenches that are probably 25 years old. I don't use them that often but they still work. I also buy impact sockets there.

[@williamwhite9767]

@@julied915 Hi julie, I just saw the notification. I'm in NC so I can't recommend anyone. Don't go to the dealer. Go to a brake shop. Depending on what needs to be replaced it could get expensive. Many owners just change out the brake pads if there is no vibration when braking. If the rotors need replacing it will cost a lot more.

[@Rickyboy707]

Folks, please DO NOT tighten the wheel nuts with an air gun or you run the risk of warping the new rotors. Always use a torque wrench set to manufacturer's specifications to tighten wheel nuts. Scotty is a professional mechanic and he knows how much to tighten wheel nuts with an air gun since he's probably done it thousands of times.

[@alfredo3895]

It is not always like that but of course this is for people at home

[@chrisfreemesser5707]

One of the big reasons why rotors warp is overtorquing the lug nuts and/or torquing them unevenly. Always use a correctly set torque wrench when putting on your lug nuts, and always re-torque the nuts if you ever have your car serviced/inspected by a mechanic and wheels had to be removed.

[@cat-lw6kq]

I used to go to one place they torqued them down by hand. The also balanced the tires on the car, they don't remove them, it makes for a really smooth ride. the place had a lot of old timers working there.

[@kjstars]

Dude, there is literally No Such thing as warped rotors. They're made from cast iron. What you're feeling is microscopic mineral deposits when the pad scrapes the rotor. That's why you TURN THE ROTOR AROUND. You're no mechanic using that terminology. Warped rotors is BS.

[@tylernicholson5319]

Dude, it's a 5 minute tutorial, I'm sure he's very sorry that he didn't take more time to get into the theory of popular vernacular. He uses the laymen's term "warped rotors" because that is what the target audience understands. In case you weren't paying attention, he also put an image up showing uneven pad deposits. But I'm sure you're the one true mechanic and this guy with 2.4 million subscribers should bow down to the nobody...

[@Taraisgood]

Gene Friedman - check it again to make sure rotors not warped.m, pads are seated properly. When reassembling, make sure you pump brakes a few times to get brakes to engage before driving off. If that don’t work, get an alignment.

[@Ponyo3816]

Hey Scotty! I also want to point out. At times it can be your wheel pressure and alignment! Whenever my tires start to get lower that little shake can show up. But if I go a while without an alignment I definitely have the shakes at high-speed breaking. Just my 2 cents!

Hi Scotty , Love your videos . I have a 2003 Toyota Tacoma 4 wheel Drive 4 door . I bought new calipers at O Reilly's and off ebay a power stop brake kit , which came with new rotors pads , drums & shoes along with new hardware ( THESE ARE CRAPPY CHINESE MADE BY THE WAY ) . I put the new brakes on , and I had bad vibration in the front, so I took the calipers off to have them turned and they were warped very bad , they had to make 5 passes on them to get them straight ... So after putting them back on I still am getting a vibration ... I have put anti seize on the hubs after I cleaned them , I cleaned the rotors and I have put the grease on back of the pads and sides where they slide , and I'm so frustrated as to why I am getting a pulsation still , ... Any ideas what you think please ?

[@JodBronson]

You won't believe this, but this maybe the culprit and i was in my case. Rims "WARPED" !!!

U rock bro!

Thank you, this was extremely helpful

I change my brakes pads rotors and caliper sometimes it still shakes

[@samuelu21352135]

My car shakes like crazy when I brake

[@cupbean1]

Check if your rims are bent or damaged. That happened to me I put the damaged rim on the back of the car took the back rim put it on the front of the car. Didn’t shake anymore it’s a quick fix until you get a new rim or rims. Hitting potholes or a curb will bend rims or damage them

[@Justsome_Randomdude]

Make sure you follow these steps quickly to give time to brake on time. Put your right foot in before braking. Then take your right foot out. Then put your right foot in, and then brake. Then do the hokey pokey

[@cupbean1]

Beetle Juice lol. There’s always one lol

[@chocolatewheelchair]

You put rims on your car??

[@lordofwar9638]

If you don’t know much about cars, just go to a mechanic. You could be chasing that problem all day with no answer.

[@krispy5139]

Do you bleed the brakes after changing them?

[@MrSamadolfo]

😒 hmmmmm alot of rotors dont come off that easily, they use the cheapest iron and nonpainted hubs so it rusts and bonds to the hub really bad, its a F nightmare, plus some have those stupid philips screws like honda and some euros. You forgot to mention to buy 'Silicone Brake Grease' its a clear gooee substance like 'dielectric grease' that does not react to rubber, while u have the caliper bracket off...pull off the boots and pins, wipe or washout the boot, pin, holes. Replace pin or boot if its damaged. Apply a dab of fresh silicone to the pin and install. Put only a little cause its super thick. Make double dam sure the pin slides freely 😒 Dont overtighten the caliper bracket bolts. Hang the caliper safely with wire or string. Brake pads go for the premium ceramics, if they have two versions go for the softest versions, avoid the fleet version which is harder. Back Rotor Brakes plan on also rebuilding the inner drum brakes if it has them, replace shoes hardware lube etc. And when u drive dont b an AH learn to baby ur brakes and ur car as a whole, be good to her 😒🚗🚙

[@MrSamadolfo]

🤓 oh, and suck out the brake fluid from the reservoir, refill with new fluid, the lazy way to replace the fluid 😊

[@james1795]

A pair of pairs.

[@stecchino1987]

Sometimes it even shakes when not braking and , even though it looks strange , they are the rotors too ! 🤗

[@ryjchurchill]

Brake rotors do not warp from heat, even when driven by the most aggressive driver. Instead, they wear unevenly. ... The problem of pedal vibration, incorrectly called rotor warp, occurs 3,000 to 5,000 miles after the brake or tire change

[@robh1908]

Lol you must have just watched "Warped rotor myth"

[@rkardos4220]

My only question: is that big a fan necessary?

[@BillOfAllTrades2016]

Few issues with this video. Don't work on a car without jack stands. Don't spray a highly toxic and corrosive chemical in front of a fan because that's just stupid. And also the bolts on the calliper assembly need to be torqued so check your cars specs don't just crank them as hard as you can. And lastly you don't need to buy a $20 brake piston tool. I just use an old c clamp and they only cost $5. Please exercise caution and don't just follow what this guy does without thinking first.

[@silvergrizzly316]

You are the greatest Scotty!!! I've had my 2000 f-350 for 18 years now and I've gone thru 5 sets of front rotors. The Best set I got was 10 yrs ago at NAPA, they were made in Illinois I believe, "American Made" they were the BEST!!! But it's just hard to keep rotors on the front of these heavy trucks. As always GREAT VIDEOS my good friend, God Bless you always!!! ☆Jay.

[@MrSamadolfo]

😍 yay The Land of Lincoln! 😍

[@user-NofaceNocase]

Is it normal for my breaks to wrap when they are new?

[@MickPsyphon]

OEM brake rotors are almost always crap; and if the original rotors warped, replacement OEM spec rotors *WILL* warp, too! It's caused by overheating, which is usually caused by bad driving habits, or frequently driving up and down hilly/mountainous terrain. The solution is to replace the rotors with cross-drilled and slotted rotors; and ceramic pads. They cost a little more than OEM replacement parts, but they last twice as long; and they improve you braking distance, too. Much safer! For anyone thinking that this means you can brake harder into the corners, or at every stop light: yes, you can, but unless you get better tyres and better brake fluid, you're more likely to wrap your car around a tree. Just enjoy the better, safer braking; and don't push it

[@Bravo1486]

Thanks for the info! I just did some research on cross-drilled and slotted rotors. They do a great job in dispelling the hot gases that build up when braking. I've been having issues with braking and will definitely replace them with these.

[@Radzaification]

Just slotted is better if you want a stronger rotor overall. Cross drilled rotors are a weakness and can crack with multiple heavy heat cycles.

[@PyroAnonymous]

A combination between Drilled and Slotted with Ceramic Brakes will actually slightly decrease your braking performance because there's less surface area the brake can bite on the rotor and ceramic is not as good as semi metallic for braking power. Plus you're wearing out the ceramic brakes sooner because the slots in the rotor removes a micro layer of brake material from the brakepads. Smooth and Ceramic make the best pair for longevetivity while Slotted and Semi Metallic make the best combination for braking power. Also, ceremanic is not recommended for heavy applications and/or if you're towing heavy load all the time. And for Drilled, apart from looking nice, it's only main benefit is that it'll make the brakes work better for rainy conditions. In the end, it all depends on your tires. Braking power is nothing when you have sub-par or worn tires.

[@MickPsyphon]

@@Bravo1486 If you match them up with ceramic pads, it keeps the dust down; and wears easier in the cross-drilled rotors.

[@MickPsyphon]

@@Radzaification For most people who aren't taking their cars to the track, cross-drilled rotors will never fail them. You really need to drive like an absolute maniac to cause them to fail. Even on my '06 300C 5.7L HEMI, they worked like a dream. No matter how hard I pushed them, they always performed.

[@88Petry]

What about the spring/shock bolts that hold the calipers on?? U need to make sure they "spring" in and out freely before tightening them. They have small notches in them to let air out and prevent air locks.

[@c0r5e]

How much have u spend on ur lexus after buying it then servicing it ?

[@Peppermint1]

Cheap rotors bend when the wheel lugs don't have all the same torque on them - just retorque the lugs properly in a few steps, and the rotors should straighten back again (also clean any corrosion at the wheel hole for lugs so as to feel the lugs tighten smoothly all the way)

[@AceSolomon94]

Scotty, what about: 1) Stepping on the brakes to make sure the pads engage & 2) The bleeding of the brakes?

[@itsatrap4986]

No need to if you don't open the brake lines.

[@uchihasasuke945]

the only other thing i do is take the cap off my brake fluid reservoir. Seems to let excess fluid from compressing the pistons flow back up easier.

[@candacechilds520]

What if it's just the brake pads and not the rotors?

[@cameronmorgan0203]

Wheel alignment usually is the reason why a wheel shakes like that besides the rotary

[@AlwaysUpgradingRCTurko]

It's impossible for a rotor to warp. It would take 2300 degrees to warp a rotor and change the metallurgy. I believe scored rotors are more accurate. Rotor thickness variation is excessive lateral run out.

[@jeremyfufushnick2965]

Are you for real 😂

[@ARyan-yk9qh]

"You have to wiggle them around until they get in the hole right."

[@MVRWC]

Can the rear rotor cause the same? I'm thinking no

[@airwreckah.2964]

I think I’ll change my own brakes & rotors. If no one hears from me after tomorrow can someone please switch the thumbs up to a thumbs down for me. Thnx 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TonyAlvar3z]

Airwrecka H. You’ll do fine lol. I’m also doing mine about next week.

[@Gadgetman1989]

Ah, yes, but something i think most DIY people forget is always check too if your rotors are NOT the same that rolled off the factory floor, had a buddy of mine still have his from 04, granted the car was a hand me down, low miles, but still took a good beating and CLR to get them suckers off

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

May I just say to the first timers or the inexperienced: Don't think because you viewed this video, you can just go and fix the brakes on your particular vehicle. This is only an example, performed by an experienced professional.

[@MrSamadolfo]

😏 LOL let them find out how hard it is just to get a real rotor off! haha noobs! 😂

[@slicaltimistic1]

Absolutely right. This is a time consuming. Especially if you doing this for the first time. You have to learn how to take these brakes and calipers off. It does get challenging. One rotor might take you about 1hr., or 2hr.

[@MrSamadolfo]

@@slicaltimistic1 😱 the rear rotor might have an inner integrated brake drum to work on as well 😡

[@MrSamadolfo]

😂 sometimes u cant even get the lug nuts off! heehee 😇

[@PressinPickle]

Lmao I can do a brake job in 20 minutes flat

[@carlosgj1308]

Hi Scotty I replace the disk and brakes and the front but it still shakes the steering wheel. If the rear disk are warm out does it make it shakes the steering too or is there other thing I need to check.thanks
