Hi to all I'm looking at all the info on brakes and since I have just taken the front brakes apart and wondering about the rotor's This is
a 02 Ls with 90,000 I have not had any pulsating but took the car to a GM dealer that I bought it from last November because there was a lot of free play before braking took place. I asked them to check it out $50.00 later they told me I needed new brakes and the rotors needed turning. I have taken both the front's apart about 1/8 to 3/16 of shoe left . I have had no indication of the need for new brakes and taking the sensor off it looks okay to me. I ordered and received both front and rear from Irontoad.com I'm wondering about the rotors I donot see the centering screws as mentioned in several posts only two threaded holes about 6mm for removal allthough the rotor's just fell off when I removed the calipers. Question are they OEM or other wise? also the bolts that hold the calipers on have some kind of white material on them paste ,paint , not on the threads but unthreaded part anyone know what that is all about. Many posts say forget about turning if not pulsating. I cannot tell if they have been turned or not I see no numbers for min. thickness. Anyone for original thickness numbers and finally the torque for caliper bolts sorry this is so long B) They also wanted 450.00 for the brake job.
