Brake job
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2022 4:59 pm
problem: steering shakes when I hit the brake pedal especially when the rotor is hot.
History: last year I bought 2 front rotors (OE) and install those after 3 months in summer I guess, I noticed a steering shake when I pressed the brake pedal I changed the passenger side rotor with the old one, and the shaking stopped. last week I took rotor to shop to repair and resurfaced the rotor then install it on my car with new brake pad also.
I am planning to do the same for the driver's side too.
and I noticed the caliper boot is worn but not much so I decided to leave it alone for now.
rotor thickness after resurfacing: 26mm[1.02 in] (24mm[0.94 in] is the limit)
Tightening torque
Front brake caliper carrier bolt (a): 155 N·m (15.8 kg-m, 114.5 lbf-ft) Front brake caliper pin bolt (a): 34 N·m (3.5 kg-m, 25.0 lbf-ft) and some pics
