Thanks, That is what I thought. I don't know if they turned them or not. It took about 300 miles for it to start. I suspect that they are now warped. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Stansifer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 7:00 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] question for the car guys
Lenny, Did they turn the rotors when you had the brakes done the last time? In my unhumble professional opinion not turning or replacing rotors when doing pads is akin to not using toilet paper. If they were turned once you can probably plan on replacing them. There is a minimum thickness that brake rotors can be machined to, I think it is 10MM. Warped or thin rotors is probably the vibration she is feeling. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lenny McHugh Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 4:44 PM To: handyman-blind Subject: [BlindHandyMan] question for the car guys We have a 2003 grand caravan sport all wheel drive. Two weeks ago for inspection it needed breaks at the same time I upgraded the break fluid to dot 5.1 and also had the tires rotated. Now about 45 mph when Karen applies the break she can feel a chatter or vibration. When she first said it was shaking at that speed I thought she lost a balancing weight. I now suspect rotors. Is there anything that can cause a rotor go bad after about two weeks after installing new breaks? The vehicle has about 40,000 miles and the rotors were cut around 25,000 miles. Got to get this thing fixed quickly, next week we are taking my grandson to Canada to see the falls.
