swan Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have a 1998 Camaro. I recently got new tires but now it is making funny sound when I hit the brakes (there is a slight jerk as well). The brake pads are fine (recently changed). This sound is really bothering me. I drove down to Abu Dhabi and after my return the car is vibrating a bit when in N. I will change the fan belt soon as it is worn out. Can anyone advise?

rayel Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Did you get the wheel alignment done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilan Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 If it makes soudn while hitting brake ONLY, then either brake pads are worn out (which is not ur case) or brake drums are weak. Check the minimum thickness on disc if its lower than 4 mm, get new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swan Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 rayel: Wheel alignment is ok zilan: disc thickness is 4mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabir Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 4mm is last spot for brake disc, show to mechanic and seek his advise as per visual check and then get the new disc changed. I am more than 90% sure this funny sound is due to slimmer brake disc. On high speed, when you touch LITTLE brake car front vibrate too??? (If yes its confirm disc is gone).

swan Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 @Shabir: At high speed when I hit little brake it does not shake or make sound. Only when in low speed (while approaching speed breaker) it makes that sound! The machanic checked and said disc is ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swan Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Emad: The brakes are working fine. The sound is due to the cover. So, no it's not dangerous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
