How do you know if your rotors are warped or just need to be rotated. My car, when the brakes warmed up, would bounce and **** like crazy when braking.

Did it so hard my drink spilled from my ashtray and it broke my tie rod end. The wheel now, when driving will sometimes randomly start to bounce as if i was hitting the brake.

When its really hot outside and such, my brakes i guess, are always on? It will rub and i press the pedal and there is no play in it. Its just stiff and instantly engages teh brakes when pressed even slightly.

And i smell the brakes as i drive from rubbing.


I think the rotor is so warped, that when it heats up, its always touching the brake pad??

What else could be the cause??

 

one way to tell if its warped is when u resurface ur rotor... just buy a new one.. wont cost more than $25

 

I had the rotors cnc'd, got new tein tie rods and ends, and a few other things, now it rides great ^_^

 

I'd say rotors, I'd jsut get new rotors and pads or calipers to if ya want, wouldn't hurt, but I'm not sure if alot of constant heat like that can warp the calipers or anything, but yeah like shotty53 said new rotors are cheap

 

I know : P I just said, i had them turned and now everything is fine : P

 

ah my bad, I was thinkin someone else started this post for some weird weird reason, sorry about that
