vibration issue, brakes?


Recommended Posts

Only when the car is very cold and has been sitting for a long time (overnight like) , I get a vibration that I can feel in the seat of my pants, and through the steering wheel. The frequency increases with speed. After the first complete stop from moderate speed (45mph+) the vibration is gone.

My guess is that one of the brake pads is partially on the rotor and recedes after the brakes have been warmed up and actuated a few times.

Any suggestions as to what else it might be? Is it a real problem or nothing to worry about?

Thanks ya'll.

Ahhh. in my line of work, we call tires that have large flat areas on them due to improper use of the brakes. Like where the wheels locked up in braking at high speed. Lots of white smoke, and all... flat spots on the tires. Anyhow, this happens just as the car has sat overnight... usually when its below freezing outside, probably close to it in my garage. I checked tire pressure the other day and it was right on. (about 30-32 psi warm on Contis)
