Braking Noise
Braking Noise
I found no posts or sticky regarding my issue. I noticed with I am braking at speeds over 30 mph that there is a humming sound comming from my breaks and slight vibration in the pedal. I'm assuming warped rotors, or uneven wear on the pads. Thing is I haven't been in the Maxima loop that long so maybe it may be something else. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
If you are on OEM pads, do the following:
1. get rotors turned/resurfaced to eliminate the pad material buildup that is causing your problems.
2. once that is done, get some quality brake pads (NOT NISSAN). I suggest Hawk HPS for a good daily driver pad
btw, I'm referring to fronts only. I doubt you are getting any significant uneven material transfer on the rears.

BTW, 30K on NISSAN rotors (6th gen) with no "warping" or material buildup issues whatsoever using Hawk HPS pads....and trust me, I use the brakes alot, and aggressively.
