The fronts had patchy glaze, where the outline of the pads was imprinted over and over again in an irregular pattern around the disc, some lighter, some heavier. I had some serious front brake vibration. A check with a dial gauge showed the discs to be dead true, and yet I had a high-speed vibration. The only conclusion I can come to at this point (surely to be opposed by some others...) is that the glaze caused sufficient frictional differences as to cause steering wheel wobble ("vibration"). -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
