break issue
My car shakes when breaking at +60mph. its fine at slower speeds.
Anyone know what it could be? thanks |
Breaking
What exactly is breaking? And, has it been broken before?

braking not breaking.....
1st check tire pressure...if good
then Check rotors for warpage due to overheating If the rotors r brownish purple/blue in some parts of rotor..could mean they were overheated during some aggressive braking Best way to check rotor for warpage is to take it to a brake shop and they'll put it on a lathe and spin it Warped/cooked -->Replace both rotor and pads my 2 cents |

It is very rare and almost impossible to warp a Porsche rotor.
What generally is called a warped rotor is brake pad deposits on the rotor face. Every time the pads go over that patch it will grab a little more, causing the vibration. This is common at the track, when rotors are extremely hot and people come to a complete stop and leave their foot on the brake pedal. The patch just cooks for a second or two right to the rotor. When at the track lift your foot off the brakes just before coming to a full stop and also don't engage the e-brake, leave the car in gear. Happy Boxstering, Pedro |
Agree with Pedro.
This link is pretty comprehensive:
http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_warped_brakedisk.shtml You may be able to go out and perform 5-6 hard brake stops (80mph - 20mph) and clear off some of the deposits, just make sure you can drive around without coming to a complete stop before the pads cool down again. |
Agree with Pedro II.
Also someone posted a while back to this forum here:
