  • Brakes not wearing correctly

    I have a question, this isn't for my camaro but it's for a FWD 3.8L TPI. My dad's abs light comes on and the brakes aren't wearing correctly. One side is worn more then the other and on the other side one brake's pad is almost slanted where it wore. I tested the sensors (speed sensor?) the volts on the lines were a little under 5v and the resistance in the sensor itself was 1.16 and 1.14. So im guess thats good. Would the calipers be solution to this problem?

    Ahh sorry I just looked at the other topics in the board and I didn't know brakes were under 'suspension'. In my book it's under drivetrain. SOrry

      your problem is stacked intolerance of the wheel assymbly. this also called warped rotor and pedal pulsation when applying the brakes. a new product called brake align will fix this problem.myers tire supply can refer you to a dealer who installs this plate. you will get better breaking and your pads will last longer. http://www.myerstiresupply.com
