NCStangFanatic Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I just had new Powerslot rotors and Hawk ceramic pads installed on my car and when it was taken for a test drive there was a shimmy in the front end while braking. This usually indicates a warped rotor but with them being brand new could there be something else causing this? There was no shimmy with the OE rotors and pads.

RUFDRAFT Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hi Charles - did you (or the tech) "bed" the pads after the install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCStangFanatic Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi Charles - did you (or the tech) "bed" the pads after the install? Please explain "bed" and I will find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabman Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi Charles - did you (or the tech) "bed" the pads after the install? +1 Bedding usually means doing a series of increasingly hard stops after installation. It helps the new surfaces on the pads and rotor mate properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thanks for the birthday call today, Charles! As usual, it was great talking to you. I forgot to mention that the reason I'll probably have more rwhp than you is the Comp Cams I had installed. Don't forget to let us know how you like the car when you get it back on Tuesday! Boost - is - good! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
