wnaplay1647545503 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Again, 94 del sol. No power steering, didnt come with. Car vibrates bad when braking. I am thinking warped rotor? Also wheel wants to pull out of my hand at low speeds. Possibly just because of no power steering. Feels like you hit one of those ruts in the road where a million semis have worn a nice groove into the road, and as your tires hits the high spot of the rut your car pulls down to the low spot. Just for comparison. Any opinions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Sounds like two different problems. 1st one sounds like warped something, either bad pads or rotors. 2nd problem sounds like tracking, which is usually caused my wider than normal tires/wheels. I had this problem with 235 series on an 8" wide wheel, the steering wheel would jerk and try and go to the low spot of the road. If your running stock wheels/tires I'm not sure what the problem would be, just giving me .02 good luck man. I had the brake problem on my 93 Prelude like 2 years back, so i figured I would jsut replace the pads/rotors since they were worn, but then I looked at the prices, it was over $400 for the parts alone to do it myself,needless to say I was pissed because I had only bought the car for $500. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yeah it came with wider than stock tires and rims. Could be the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 $400 wtf? You can get two pads and two rotors for $50 at Autozone.. I was going to do all 4, and I'm not sure the parts list but i remember specifically going to autozone, advance and napa and getting quotes of like $350-500 in just parts. This was a few years back, but yeah it was a big surprise to me. I bought front pads/rotors for my focus for like $40 mid last year, so i dunno.

And that's probably for a civic, parts are pricier for the prelude, because its not every ricer's dream car and they dont sell 1million parts per day for that car. possible...

JaSSon Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Your 2nd prob may be ball joints. i have a similar problem with my Jimmy, and it needs ball joints. But it could also be an allignment issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I'm with Jason... sounds like a ball joint or something causing it to pull... or maybe your alignment might be off... the vibration durring braking is a warped rotor. If you need help with this, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I'm compiling a list of things that need fixed or I want to do to it, and just do them all when I have it in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Play "Good Vibrations" by the beach boys at full volume to conteract the bad vibration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
