Whirring.
99' accord 4door with a whirring from the RH rear. Someone told me probably
a bearing. recently replace caliper and rotor on that side (well rotors and pad all around) and sound has been around since. I'm thinking something in the pad or between the pad and rotor. any other ideas. I really don't feel like ordering a bearing if the consensus is that it might just be dirt or something. |

Took the wheel off, pads off, rotor off. spin the hub by hand - no play,
no noise. put the rotor and pads back on, and sure enough - there's a slight warp in the rotor. ****es me off too, I just replaced them. Here i thought Brembo was pretty good. Also, the inside pad isn't wearing properly. it looks as if 2/3 of the pad are coming into contact with the rotor.

Here i thought Brembo was pretty good. Have you sanded off **ALL** the rust on the hub and the rotor's backside? Are you **100% certain** you don't have a piece of grit between the rotor and hub? Both the above will cause runout and will be mistaken for warped rotors. Also, you need to make 100% certain the pins are sliding freely and the pads are floating unimpeded. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/rustybrakes/brakes1.html (Takes a while to load.

> i thought Brembo was pretty good. It sounds like it may not be the rotor's fault, a little drag can generate a whole lot of heat. On the other hand, I bought some Brembo rotors a year and a half ago that made me think they could be counterfeit goods. |

I cleaned the rotor, pad, checked the piston operation, and even cleaned up
the abs sensor. i can actually see a slight warp in the rotor. I'll probably get them machined next week. Now of course, having had to replace both rear calipers.....i didn't pay the $$ for the actual honda, but a fair price for the high mid range. maybe those are messed too.
