So lately my car has been pretty gay with its brakes. When im stopping from an average speed (anything above 20 or so mph), i hear my rear drums making a type of Grinding noise. i checked my shoes and they were fine. I had replaced my drums a few months ago thinking this would solve stopping issue, but i always hear this noise...
Also, my front brakes tend to be squeeking a bit, checked those also, but the pads still have a good amount of life on them, and solutions? ONE more issue. When stopping from a normal speed, and at average pressure on the pedal, my my steering wheel tends to shake a bit between 20-40 mph. I checked my wheels and they are on pretty well. I was thinkin it could be the rotors... help would be appreciated. |

Probably like half the cost of new ones, and they wont last as long as new ones, and depending on how bad they are warped they may not even be fixable. Id just cough up the extra cash for new rotors since they arent all that expensive to begin with. |
