Help! Need Help Fixing a Problem

93cobrah · 12-13-2001, 11:25 PM

Noticed a problem with my GT every time I push on brake pedal I feel a bump in my wheels. The brake pedal jumps. I was thinking about warped rotors. Has anyone ever had this problem? The cars feels smooth until I hit the brakes.

Warped rotors are very common on the Mustang. It's because of the little rotors, and the **** rear brakes, along with the shitty calipers.

Upgrading the brakes will help, otherwise, try not to heat them up so much. Hehe. Yeah, that's a good one.

It could also very easily be your rear drums. I'd probably guess those before I'd say your rotors are the culprit.

My vote goes with the rotors. All you need to do to find out is raise the vehicle and rotate the wheel. You will feel it.

Take care,
