08 honda civic-body shakes while breal is applied travelling downhill
hi
a weeks back tried to change rhe break pad but when opened everything found the pad about 60% ok so fixed it as it is. Yesterday while deiving back home sownhill drom cypress, when applied break at 70 noticed whole body was shaking. At 50 the same. While i was in plain dint observe this though.
any suggestions what is wrong.

If you get a vibration when breaking usually the rotor is warped or something is sticking

Thanks Colin.
i also thiught so, but when i opened the caliber and checked the rotor, at high dint seems to ve warped. But i might be wrong with my observations. Probably need this mexhanic tested.
will let you all know.

You won't be able to tell it's warped just by looking at it, unless it's really messed up.

Yep, could be just a couple thousandths run out. Machine shop with dial indicators (unless you got your own and know how to measure runout) should be able to tell you no problem
