Hello all,

I changed my front rotors yesterday which meant i had to do the hubs as well. I used all parts from Orileys AUtoparts never had a problem before only thing i didnt replace were the pads because thy seemed to be in good shape. Any way to make a long story short now after replacing the front brakes when i step on the brake pedal it seems to be pulsating or it feels like through the pedal i can feel the wheels. How can i fix this? Or should i take it to les schwab now and let them tell me that i did it wrong by doing it myself? I should mention this is a 2wd 3.0v6 auto trans. Wondering if it might be something other than brakes.

Thanks in advance

Tom

 

No, it is the brakes, '94 only had ABS on the rear brakes so wouldn't be that.

Pulsing is usually a warped rotor, new rotors can come that way although it is very rare.

Why did you change the rotors?

You can have the old ones "turned"(about $10-$15 each), this makes sure they are true and not warped.
Then redo the rotors again, installing known good ones for maybe bad ones.

 

Did you regrease the slide pins on the caliper? One of them could be seized up. I do this every brake change.

 

New Rotors were out of round severly from the box.

Took it to les schwab do i have any reprocussuions against orileys or am i just going to have to eat the cost of having the rotors turned

 

should have taken them back and not turned them and why would u not replace the pads ?

 

You can talk to them about it and they "may" give you a store credit to purchase something else, especially if they have gotten the same complaints from others about these rotors.
But since you have had them turned and installed, I assume, then they have no way to know if they were out of spec, i.e. you don't have a defective part to return to them so they can return it to the manufacturer to get a credit themselves.

If you can get a credit for the cost of the turning of the two rotors then I would be happy with that.
