new rotors/pads pulsing
« on: July 30, 2006, 02:03:06 AM »

I have a 2000 venge.  I just put some crossed drilled/slotted rotors on, painted the calipers and put some 18's on the car.  I blead the 4 calipers already.  For some reason i'm getting pretty good pulsing when i break thats driving me nuts lol.  Anyone have any ideas? 
Could it be since i drained all the break fluid and hwen i filed it up didnt blead the master cylinder?  I read in the book i needed t odo it but had no idea how to or even where it is located.  Any help/suggestions would be great.

Pulsing is likely improper torque ... Did you use a torque wrench to torque down the lug nuts Huh

originaly i didnt.  I only had my small ratchet with the socket and tightened it down as damn tight as i could.  I went back later today and retorqued them after i bought the socket i needed for my torque wrench.  Maybe i should relift up each wheel and retorque em?  I try that first thing in the mornin.

I would of originaly but i bought the heavy duty black sockets and they were to thick to fit with the new rim Sad.  So i got the new 19mm deep socket today that fitted.

Unfortunately the damage may be done ...Improper torque and some braking can mean WARPED rotors .... But I'd try retorquing first and see

well i only drove for a few mins like that and stoped.  Today i lifted each wheel off the ground and loosened and retorqued them all.  I then went and broke the rotors in by doing some 30-0 40-0 and 60-0 stops.   What do you know, works like a champ no 0 pulsing!  I thank you for the input Smiley
