I have a 1993 Prelude vtec new discs and pads fitted but after brakes are
hot ,car run 10 minutes heavy vibration on braking.Checked steering joints
all seem ok no play to speak of.
Only thing I can find is the slide pins that the caliper rides on are worn
and the inner part of the caliper move around a bit. Any ideas would be
helpful as my arms are getting pulled around.
Thanks

Vic

re-torque the wheels, two stage process, with the first time wheels off
the ground. sequence is 1324, 1324.

also make sure there is no rust on the hubs, under the disks.

yes. and next time, don't go crazy on the torque. studs should never
break in service, even racing. take it to a different shop if they
don't know what they're doing.

Reply to Jim Beam, Thanks I will drive slower(not so bad then ) while I
look for the replacement studs. Main agents in uk are not very helpfull
when dealing with imported cars.

Thanks again

try ordering online at hondaautomotiveparts.com. pretty sure they
export. or just get new hubs from a junk yard.
