What causes a brake rotor to lose balance?

(¿Qué causa la pérdida de equilibrio del disco de freno)

Have you ever experienced shaking when braking while driving? The brake system must ensure normal use, and shaking must indicate an abnormality. Today, the brake pad manufacturer will tell you what causes the brake rotor to lose dynamic balance?

When the brakes shake, it means that the brake rotor has deformed strictly speaking, which brings us to the concept of dynamic balance. Some people say, “I’ve only heard of tire dynamic balance, what’s brake rotor dynamic balance?”

In fact, brake rotors also require dynamic balance, the requirements for brake rotor dynamic balance are stricter than those for tires, but it is less common for the brake rotor not to achieve dynamic balance. When the brake rotor cannot achieve dynamic balance, the brakes will shake when applied.

What are the reasons that cause the brake rotor to lose dynamic balance? The following are the main points:

1. Replace the brake pads

If the brake disc is abnormal wear due to the poor quality brake pad material, the old brake pads should be replaced with high-quality brake pads, and the brake disc wear should be checked at the same time.

2. Replace the brake disc

It can be determined according to the use of the brake disc, if the brake disc has been seriously worn, it is recommended to replace as soon as possible. If the brake disc is less worn, it can be polished by a professional maintenance institution to restore its dynamic balance again.

3. Check the pump

If it is caused by the partial wear problem, check whether the return pin on the brake pump is stuck, and lubricate it accordingly, while checking the brake disc, excessive wear needs to be replaced.

In general, the cause of brake jitter is closely related to the brake disc, in case of such a situation, you can carry out specific analysis around the brake disc.
