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, |

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. John |

Improper torquing can indeed cause this problem, my only point is that not all brake problems are due to poor wheel tightening procedures. John |
