Are all three using Zimmerman rotors?

JasonAndreas

When you replaced the brake pads did you have any trouble fitting them into the caliper?

rdean

No problem fitting pads.
FYI, the problem started prior to installing Zimmerman rotors. The rotos replaced were Porsche OEM.

I just don't know why you are still corresponding about the rotors.

Have you checked the suspension, steering links, or better yet, the brearings.

rdean

Relax, just answering a posted question.

KaiB

I'm cool Dean, just wonder why the other stuff lays idle.

I have to go back and check my receipt. Rotors and pads replaced, front calipers rebuilt but I can't remember weather bearings were done and what rotors were used, it's a turbo so I've always gone Pagid in the past.

Gus

Have you put a dial gauge micrometer on the rotors and taken a read out - I know this sounds a little out there but - but I had this issue and the rotors were not true (even new)- so under light braking the rotors made the wheel shimmy, if you hit the brakes hard there was no shimmy.

Gus

I forgot to ask - "what kind of brake pedal feedback are you getting?"- What are you feeling under light braking vs heavy braking ?

rstarga

On my turbo, nothing at the pedal just the steering wheel. Porsche rotors on mine.

rstarga

I'm pretty sure they checked the front wheel bearings since thats what I took it in for when they rebuilt the calipers.
I know my shocks are bad, could this affect in any way?

rdean

Pedal effect...
Light pressure shuddering feel.
Hard on the brakes no significant shuddering.

Check the master cylinder, the ABS unit, and the brake lines. If regular brake fluid changes have not been conducted throughout car's life, then those item can become corrupted by fouled brake fluid. In those components, look for a wax-like residue which forms from contaminated brake fluid.

I suspect that your car's master cylinder needs replacement.

rdean

Geez, I purged the fluid 3x. With 2 different colors to assure 100% purge. Nevers saw anything out of the ordinary , i.e. waxy substance

JasonAndreas

Yes
