Brakes on 88 Accord vibrating

[dreamer2355]

Is the vibration during braking only or is it constant throughout the driving range?

It is only when braking

If the vibration is felt during breaking then I would_x000D_
suggest that the rotors are warped. take them and_x000D_
to get machined either on the car or off the car._x000D_
also check that your slide pins are cleaned and lube

to check to see if the slides are moving freely. with the palm of_x000D_
your hand.push the caliper side to side.

I know you checked the runout but I’d bet good money the rotors need to be machined.

I would machine the rotors and make sure that you use a quality synthetic lube for your guide pins._x000D_

Keep us posted!

I think the caliper pins might have made things worse but were not the cause of the rotor warping.

turns out the problem is the drums in the back. Brand new drums with five thousandths run-out. Now days everything is junk. I also think one of the pistons on the rear calipers was sticking. Will get drums turned tomorrow.

I think he is referring to wheel cylinders on the rear._x000D_

Let us know if you find someone to cut the rotors if there within specs still. Maybe see if a independent repair facility can cut them for you?

I wouldn’t have the rotors turned unless there’s a problem, the more metal you have there the better.
