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. |

Well shaky steering wheel can be alot of things, does it happen when stopping? If so you probably have warped rotors. Ive also heard that celicas have a tendancy for squeeky brakes but thats just what Ive heard from owners around here. If your stearing wheel shakes while accelerating then it could be a flaw in the tires like a bulge or uneven tread wear. Ya may need your wheels balanced also. But Ive found that new tires on a car are like the best feeling ever, theres alot of little things that come with aging tires and usually lead you to think something else is wrong with the car when infact its only the tires. |
