Has it ever happened that you are driving very easily but the steering wheel vibrates strangely whenever you are going to brake? And you might think that this is happening because you are driving on a broken road. But have you ever wondered what the problem might be in your car? Now the question is why such a strange vibration starts with the brakes in the car. Many people answer this question in many ways. Motor busted mount, bent rim, bad CV joint, loose log screw, etc. are the reasons many people show. But one of these is responsible for the vibrations that occur during the brake.
This vibration may be due to rotor problems only. Many of us may not know what a is rotor? The rotor is a wheel that holds the brake pads in place when the car is stopped. In other words, these are very important parts to stop the car. We will briefly explain why rotors cause vibrations when braking and how rotors work. First of all, I will know what is the rotor?
Rotor
The length of the rotor is made of metal and usually depends on the model of the car. When you brake, the intense heat of the rotor dissipates and dissipates downwards, so that the car brakes smoothly. However, over time, the rotors tilt downwards and then the metals in the rotors become thinner or move away from certain places. When the car is moving at high speed, when the brake pad grips the rotor, the brake pedal vibrates erratically and falls which is transferred to the steering wheel.
The actual cause of the vibration must be determined before knowing the vibration of the steering wheel when braking. As mentioned earlier, such vibrations are mostly caused by rotors. Other vibrations occur not only during breaks but also at other times. With that in mind, we will know the problems of Rotor and how to solve it.
Hard rotor
If the rotor is too stiff, the steering may vibrate during braking. In this case, you can take the help of a mechanic who knows how to join the rotor in the right pattern without being too tight. This is a very common thing that every mechanic should know. Occasionally they have a torque stick with which they can measure the attachment of the seal. But it is good to know that each car has its own special torque which is usually printed by the rotor itself.
To know the problem properly, the mechanic should open the rotors and measure with a micrometer. Bad spots or damaged areas can be fixed with a machine. This method is called ‘rotor turning’. In this method, the rotor is rubbed with thin metal until the top is smooth. Although this method is not a very good method.
However, if the metal is used less, the rotor will not be damaged again. Most of the time it is not possible to recover your rotors and replace them.
If your car suffers from rotor related problems then you may not realize how important it is to change the rotor.
You may be able to avoid vibrations during this break for a few days, maybe a few months, but the sooner this problem is resolved the better. It is better to show the mechanic or change the parts as soon as possible, otherwise, you may not even know when a big accident will happen.
Soft and loose rotor
Many times such problems can occur even if there is only a hard screw or a loose screw, and you can fix it very easily. We have already said that vibration with brakes is felt only when the rotor is damaged or problematic. And to avoid these problems means to bring your own danger. If these problems continue for a long time, then there is a possibility of damage to other brake systems including bolts, brake pads including calipers. Which can cost a lot more to fix.
Another reason is the loss of rotor stability due to vibration during brake. And driving with these problems is dangerous.
‘Simi’
Some people do not pay much attention to the vibration of the steering wheel during brakes but this vibration is called ‘simi’. And this ‘Simi’ also damages the car’s anti-lock braking system and can cause major car accidents when the panic stops.
Due to the connection of the steering wheel with the brakes, care should always be taken to ensure that the brake rotors are never too stiff or loose. Always check the car parts from a good service center. If necessary, the parts have to be changed. And in-car safety, install Prohori in your car and take care of your hobby car.
