Zimmerman rotors 900 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be dnice on  Mon Sep 15 09:07 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I just replaced my front rotors/pads/caliper pin kit about 500 miles ago to cure a bad pulsation and shimmy in the steering wheel. Rotors are Zimmermans and pads are Textar.

When I apply the brakes lightly I started getting a shimmy in the steering wheel. When more brake pressure is applied it seems to smooth out. Wheels were torqued down properly with a torque wrench.

There's also a "clank" type sound that I hear when I first apply the brakes after the car has been sitting a while. It's like the brake pad slaps against the rotor as if there was a bit of slack between the rotor and pad.

Could it be that the front rotors are defective? Any other possibilities?


Thanks for any feedback.
