Outer Limits 4x4 Board

my front brakes shudder under braking buh nothing is noticed when driving only happens when im braking...?

noticed this after an accidental "handstand" on the rear wheels on the beach yday (hit a sand dune step and the front end popped up in the air) came down with a big thud too...may have i bent something? brake rotor?

shudder?
I know my front rotors are warped as when I apply pressure to the brakes the pedal 'pulsates' in and out

EXACTLY what im talkin bout bud pulsates in and out..

well yep sounds like fugged rotors to me lol pull them out and you should be able to see it by eye or with a straight edge

im assuming u cant fix em? just replace em? and how does this happen, im curious

Simple fix, remove wheels, unbolt caliper, get rotors machined, replace pads.

thanks bud cheers!!

AFAIK Rotors can only be machined so much (ie. they have to be a certain thickness) but the brake shop will be able to tell you whether they can be machined or not. I presume you could source new rotors from someone like Autopro or Supercrap etc

i replaced mine on my last sierra with a ebay set.$150 delived for new pads and rotors were very good.

My zuk now is also getting the slight pulsating through the pedal.So will have to check mine,they look to be in good nik tho and have a heap of pad left so hopefully a quick lick on the lathe will fix him up

If the pulsing is in the pedal, but not shaking the steering wheel, your rear drums may be out of round too. They can be machined as long as they are not at their maximum ID after machining.

Layto....
