Brake Job: 2009-2015 Honda Pilot

The second-generation Honda Pilot shares the same platform as the Odyssey minivan and Accord. It also shares a lot of the same complaints concerning “warped” rotors. It is not excess heat that causes brake judder and pulsation, it is lateral runout and disc thickness variation (DTV). The Pilot is sensitive to disc thickness variation. This

The Case for On-Car Wheel Balancing and Wheel-to-Hub Indexing

Off-car wheel balancers do an excellent job of measuring dynamic unbalance — static and couple — and many also measure tire/wheel uniformity, radial runout or calculate radial force variation (RFV) to help eliminate vibration and verify the assembly is balanced and round when rolling. However, two problematic assumptions are made with off-car balancers: 1. That

Finding, Fixing Runout and Disc Thickness Variation

Now that the warped rotor myth is busted, and we’re not just replacing the rotor and moving on, what are we doing instead? Measuring runout First, check for rotor surface runout with the wheel mounted. Components should be marked as you perform an inspection of the assembly. By measuring the rotor on the hub, you

Stop the ‘Warped’ Rotors Myth and Service Brakes the Right Way

Myths take hold ­because either A) they seem completely logical or B) they are so often repeated that they just become common knowledge. The warped rotor myth is a little bit of both. A rotor that contributed to a pulsation condition certainly appears “warped.” Plus, everyone says it — even technicians that know the rotor

Improve Ergonomics And Boost Shop Productivity With Rotary Lift Wheel Wing Tire Hanger

Rotary Lift’s latest productivity-enhancing car lift accessory makes it easier for technicians to remove wheels for tire rotations and brake and suspension work. Introduced at last week’s SEMA Show, the new Wheel Wing tire hanger attaches to a two-post or inground lift’s swing arm, providing a convenient resting place for wheels. “With the Wheel Wing

Servicing Corroded Drums and Rotors

In the Northeast and Midwest, a flat tire and an alloy wheel seizing on the hub (two parts jammed or stuck) is a common occurrence caused by corrosion. Corrosion and rust are nasty problems that make ­repairing a vehicle difficult. Corrosion is the product of an electrochemical reaction, in a vehicle’s case, between two dissimilar

Florida Pneumatic Offers Torque-Controlled 1/2″ Impact Wrench with Digital Display

The FP-745TCI is a torque-controlled 1/2″ impact wrench to incorporate a graduated torque setting dial whereby the operator can select four specific torque settings in the forward direction. It also features built-in indicator lights to show the operator when the correct torque level is reached.

Returning Brake Rotors To ‘Like New’ Condition

When it comes to returning brake rotors to “like new” condition, it is a two-step process that can be different every time. If the vehicle has a pulsation symptom or complaint, it pays to perform a diagnostic check before machining the rotor in terms of both time and additional parts sales.
