warped disk

[seddon89]

alreet, what would cause a warped disk?

[shezzo]

jus not bleeding and bedding the brakes in properly when u first fit the discs happened on a mates saxo

[Saxotim]

or a sticky caliper

i just freed the brakes off the day before, when i went to brake the next day from 70 jesus christ the steering was shaking like mad and the pedal was bouncing, changed the front pads and disks (again) and it seems ok

cheers

broke calliper mate :P

[seddon89]

na, just a knackered disk tisandy lol :)

Overheating brakes will cause the discs to warp, a tell tale sign of this is a red disc, caused by a seized caliper and/or filthy caliper carrier (not allowing the pads to move freely)
possibly even a TERRIBLE quality disc??

[seddon89]

see how long these last, i only changed them last year lol

[simonwillis1988]

i bet your probably just a fast driver and a late breaker lol

[seddon89]

sometimes :) lol

I've got this problem atm on my car. I get to around 60 and the steering shakes like mad, then if you try to push through it to 70/80 there's really bad rattle near the pedals. I've had wheels balanced and even tried swapping wheels from back to front. Reckon getting the disks/pads changed might fix it?

You wouldn't get a red disc on a saxo, that is SERIOUS braking power from high speeds.

An overheated disc will have a blue tint to it

If possible it would be worth getting the run out of the hub measured as if this is out you will always be warping discs

if i can upload the photos i have got picks of both front and rear disks glowing orange.. that is standard disks and calipers but using mintex 1155 pads if it works i will prove you wrong that you can get disks that hot on a saxo and yes we had been caining the shit out of it for a fair while beforehand

new info:
check the front hub run outs and found the o/s was bent so its the reason its been eating disks

im not on about the blue scoring from heavy breaking actually, i'm on about red around the disc if a caliper is sticking and it will smell like burning brakes, this can happen to any car brakes even on a smart car!
