like it jerks doesnt want to stop 

mldfry says:

im feeling that shake now… damn!

RobertBorden121 says:

I just sold my car that had been parked for a while and had that kind of
rust. I thought It would go away with some regular driving, but I guess the
new owner is going to have to buy some rotors.

elcodude621 says:

most vehicles are only a couple of bucks more to replace the rotors now
than o have them turned…..

Tony32 says:

Finally! an Expert Village video that’s actually good.

Very Helpful

mrjost55 says:

my dad’s car shakes under braking just like he described. I wasn’t sure if
it was the rotors…well now I know. Also I noticed the shaking isn’t as
bad as it was before we replaced the wornout tires.

kilimats02 says:

yes he is, not many are with expertvillage

DogFather0808 says:

I don’t understand this change in the English language where people just
say that something “needs replaced.” I thought that the proper usage was
“needs TO BE replaced” or “needs replacing.” It’s kind of like how people
are using the word “anymore.” They actually begin a damn sentence with the
word “anymore.” For example, I might have said, “Anymore, people just say
‘needs replaced’ instead of saying something ‘needs to be replaced’. I
don’t get it.

Thank you sir. Your a huge help! 🙂

SuperDagod1 says:

I’m looking at the rotors on my jeep, they look very smooth to me. Do I
need to have them cut or can I just install new pads? Thanks Rob

dgaleno2012 says:

my cars steering wheel shakes n the guy i bought it from said that it was
probably the rotors cuz he didnt fix them when he changed the brakes and i
looked stuff in the internet n i found out it was this then i ask a
mechanic n he said it wasnt this that it was the suspencion i was like wow
really lol freaking out a lil cuz he is a “mechanic” n then i checked how
the rotors is n its messed up 1 more than the other so i hope its just that
xD

mike munoz says:

I like how he says “in my option it under minds the structural integrity of
the rotor” this guy is krazy @2:25

Vacmasterthegreat says:

I looked at my driver’s side rotor today and I saw some spots that looked
like pits, and a few spots that looked like the fit the shape of the pad,
but when I ran my finger around the rotor, it felt smooth. and the only
braking issue I have is sometimes it feels like it pulls to the left, but
that would indicate I have a bad passenger caliper wouldn’t it?

PROXY902 says:

this guy is the best well done bro

Sauron767 says:

So my grandpa taught me that when replacing brakes you take a piece of sand
paper and rub off a bit of surface from the brake pad(the part that touches
the rotor) I don’t see that on any video…help?

ROB NAVAEI says:

One of the best help.

weldingmachine1959 says:

Light of life says:

Very helpful video. Big thanks 🙂

dapoedog says:

Scott Goodwin says:

Think the fat spot is in his head

bporlier says:

Is that English you are trying to write in?

hesellsmystuff says:

@vwbusssesareforever Jack up your dakota in the center – front. Put car in
neutral with rear parking brake on – if front wheel drive. If not front
wheel drive – then neutral position is not necessary. Grab each wheel and
spin it. If it spins freely WITHOUT a “rubbing/grinding” noise in regular
intervals – then your rotor is not warped. Do the test to each wheel.
whichever wheel is making the noise – that is the one with the warped
rotor. Could be none – one or both wheels with warped rotors.

@HeyHeyMonkey18 ahhh mannn so true

James Sutton says:

Mwink Gordon says:

GREAT VID, YEAH MY STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES WHEN BRAKES ARE PRESSED, CAN’T
WAIT TO GET NEW ROTORS & BRAKES!!!

alphastarcar says:

Excellent learning video!

davielove11 says:

I agree …great explanation.

Tedybear315 says:

@RobertBorden121 Perhaps someone should come up with a coating or some such
item that would retard or prevent this from happening for cars/trucks that
are in somewhat “long term” storage. (for lack of a better way to put it)
They do make engine chemicals and fuel chemicals to stabilize things. Why
not something that can be applied to rotors and drums that any user could
spray on–and a matching chemical to easily remove it before driving?
Sounds like a job for a future marketable product!
