![]() Seems OK to me. New question: The car has sat for a couple of months, when I started to drive it the brakes were pulsing like mad, as though one of the rotors was a potato chip. It was fine before it parked it, and the rotors have fewer than 1000 miles on them. I'm gonna check for sticky calipers and or broken pads. Any other ideas?

I could speculate, but pulling the offending wheel off and looking at things will tell you a hell of a lot more than I can speculate about.
Unusually rusty rotor? I got nothin'... |

Could be the caliper isn't sliding on the pin/bolt like it should. Due to rust, perhaps.

Were you feeling this through the brake pedal? Like when your anti-lock brakes kick in and push back on the pedal? That might mean anti-lock issues...Still not the end of the world.

I vote rust likely and should be eliminated first. If you're also feeling it through the wheel then it's the front. If not it could be either.

Highway speeds are unnecessary. Best is an open road (no traffic) and do much light braking. Best that way so that rust does not embed into brake pads. Should a car sit for over a month, best is to cover all disc brake wheels with a garbage bag. Keep rain out. |
