Re: 2005 CRV brakes - wear/warping issues ? -

Are there any known issues with CRV rotors warping or similar pad/rotor pulsation problems and premature wear ? Friend has a 2005 with only 20K miles on it. Rears are not looking so good and there is a slight pulsation problem. I know it could be "normal" but I'm wondering if it's common and something the dealers are fixing. Thanks, |
If they are wearing worse on one side than the other, the sliders are
not properly lubed (from new).
Sign in search. Lots of good stuff already covered.

Tegger.com also has good materials about this problem.

Thanks, it's almost certainly due to incorrect wheel torque procedure when the tires are rotated. it's a common problem. wheels need to be tightened in a two-stage process using the correct bolt sequence. do NOT allow air tools to be used. |
It is almost an urban legend now to blame all brake rotor vibration
problems on mis-torquing. In fact, Honda changed pad materials on some
2003 models and issued a service bulletin to address these problems.
Many other makers have had this issue from time to time as well.
Contrary to popular opinion, the trouble is often that the brake rotor
has developed a thickness variation rather than simply warping like a
potato chip.

wrench on wheel lugs. Of course, that doesn't mean *all* pulsation comes
from overtorquing.

I think I'm changing my mind about 'warping'. I read this (long) article
the other day that seems to confirm what you're saying, John. It also
explains how you could 'drive home' and have (apparently) warped rotors
when you got there . . .

John well, my experience is that i brought a civic home from a brake inspection with rotors that were so warped, it was ridiculous. i drove it there, brakes were fine, drove it home, brakes were pigs. re-torqued the wheels as described, brakes were fine again. /that/ is not a thickness variation. |
not all brake problems are due to poor wheel tightening procedures.

('08s came out in mid '07).
Still a lot of miles though...
