Brakes "slipping" in rainy weather
I'm trying to sell my car (i got another one), an i think I should fix this problem:
I have four wheel disc brakes on this 00' GLS -no idea what brand, they came with the car When the roads are dry my brakes work fine. When the roads are wet (rain) it feels like the brakes are slipping. I can still stop, but I have to press the pedal much harder. Also (this may be unrelated) at 10 mph or so, you can hear a "swish, swish, swish" from the front wheels. Any help soon would be appreciated, as the car goes in the paper tomorrow. |
ever changed the brake pads? or rotors? or anything? how many miles do you have?
|
Sound like you got organic brake pads. Try switching to ceramic first if problems still here. then check to see if mount bracket is touching the rotors or not.
|
44k miles on the car. I've never done any brake work--bought the car as a repairable with 37k on it.
Why do you think these are organic pads? (They don't look OEM, but...?) |
And won't ceramic pads ruin the rotors if they aren't up to the same specs?
|
most opened wheel disc brakes do that. just give em a good tap.
|
huh? -not sure what you mean

Semi-metallic or ceramic? (With OEM-style rotors)
|
I guess I'll go with ceramic....
|
since youre selling the car does it really matter?
