3 Signs Of Brake Rotor Problem

Being able to diagnose common automotive problems is a skill set that almost anybody can benefit from. Not only will it allow you to more accurately assess problem areas, but it will help to keep the costs of repairs and upgrades to a minimum. If you would like to boost your knowledge of diagnosing brake-related issues, read on. This article will discuss three potential signs that something isn’t right with your brake rotors.

Excessive Steering Wheel Vibration

If you have noticed that your steering wheel seems to be suffering from an unusual amount of vibration–especially when you are braking–you may be dealing with bad rotors. This symptom is commonly caused by either warping or heavy wear. Both of these things will cause the rotor to contact the brake pad unevenly, thus leading to the stuttery vibration. The faster you are traveling when you apply the brakes, the worse the problem will seem to be.

Pulsing Or Vibrating Brake Pedal

The same issue–warped rotors–can also cause your brake pedal to experience unusual vibrations and pulsations. As noted above, the problem here has to do with uneven contact between rotor and brake pad. Normally the rotor forms a perfect circle. A warped rotor, on the other hand, has assumed more of an elliptical shape. This causes unnatural bumps as the rotor moves.

Odd Or Unusual Sounds

It is also important to be aware that strange noises can be an indication of rotor problems. Be especially aware of any scratching, whining, or grinding sounds. These sounds may be indicative of brake pads that have become excessively worn. In that case, the metal brake pad housing may be directly contact your rotor. Not only does this produce many unpleasant noises, but it will also soon cause irreparable damage to the rotor.

If you believe that your brake rotors may be in need of work, please do not hesitate to contact the experts at Saeedi Pro.
