Pad Wheel
Why does my steerting wheel vibrate when braking over 50 MPH?
I have an Infiniti I30 and my steering wheel vibrates when I apply brakes at sppeds over 50 MPH. Had brake pads, wheel bearings and rotors replaced at Midas in February. Took it back to them and they said that a caliper was sticking. Replaced both front calipers and pads again and the problem still exists. Braking feels normal at lower speeds. Do not wanna to go back to Midas because they obviously do not want to stand behind their work and can't seem to get it right. Could someone list the possible causes of this problem before I go to a different shop and get robbed again? At least I'll have some idea of what is ridiculous or not. Thanks.
A sticking caliper will cause the rotor to overheat and warp. The rotor will need to be replaced (generally, if it's bad enough that you can feel the warp, its too bad to just have them refaced.
Go back to Midas. Part of a brake service (when replacing pads) is ALWAYS supposed to be dismantling and rebuilding the calipers, so that they don't stick. They should know this - and should get you NEW (not refaced) rotors. Also the calipers should have been stripped, cleaned, greased and reassembled - you don't usually have to replace them (I've had cars with 30 year old calipers on them, and they worked just great.) Do not accept refaced (turned) rotors. You paid for new, you should have new. Refaced rotors are thinner, and so more likely to warp a second time - they're more likely to overheat, since there's less metal to soak up the heat generated by braking friction.
Next time, I suggest finding a local mechanic that values local customers. They cost a little more, but you get what you pay for.
Good luck.
