rear brakes 850

I had left an earlier message regarding a vibration in the rear brakes when I come to a stop. I have read posts of this type and got a response saying that it's most likely a warped rotor. I was originally concerned that it may be a shim issue on the rear pads. The interesting thing, that I may not have mentioned on my earlier message is that it is an intermittent problem. If it was a warped rotor, wouldn't this problem occur every time I came to a stop? I guess I want someone to tell me its the pads rather than the rotor so I can save some money. Heck, I just spent $75 on an intercooler hose. I suppose one option is to just replace the pads and see if that fixes the problem.

On a side note, can I use white lithium base grease on the fitting when installing the rubber turbo hose to ease its installation? It doesn't say anything on the can about not using with rubber but I don't want to trash my expensive hose.

Thanks,
Todd

    rear brakes & hose woes. 850

    I would not use lubricant of any type on a turbo hose. The hose is essentially a friction fit, and I think that it will eventually blow off.

    I might possibly use a bit of water which should evaporate.

    You should measure the rotor thickness, thin rotors are quite likely to warp.

    I'd try new pads and make sure the shims are real clean and greased up well on both sides. Then send us another psot.

    The grease on the hose shouldn't be a problem as long as it didn't get tothe flow. On the outside it's fine for an assembly aid.

    good luck
