it happened quite a long while already.. when i brake harder than usual from high speed, the steering wheel will vibrate quite roughly.. i knew the rotors were warped, but no idea what caused them.. (and nope, i'm not dumb enuff to hose the damn brakes when it's hot, or wash my car when it's still hot!)

I paid a visit to another SC since Peringgit Auto did not want to repair my car (i made a list of things to repair, but most priority is on the brakes) on the eve of Deepavali with the reason that they just wanna service cars and get them on the road ASAP.

At the other SC, the rotors were taken out for skimming (quite a lot of skimming done).. and i was told that if it warped again, a claim has to be made.. no idea how the rotors warped

So the past 2-3 days, whenever i brake, the right side brakes make an audible "chet chet chet" sound at the same place at every revolution.. i wasn't sure if the brakepads were at fault, or the rotor this time around..

Maxis was shitty today (calls to SC keep getting d/c-ed after a while) so i drove to the SC to troubleshoot the matter.. they remove the brakepads to skim again.. then told me that my brakepads are gonna wear out soon and advice me to replace them.. oddly, i wasn't told about this when the rotors and pads were taken out for skimming and that it's a surprised that the pads worn out so quickly (usually lasts 40,000km, i'm 300km shy of 25,000km)

I spent more than half an hour there pondering whether to replace the brakepads or not (cuz obviously it is pricier than what i can get outside).. after a while, they then give me a good solution lo.. they'll make a claim for new set of rotors, and when the rotors are here, i'll buy new brakepads to be fitted to the rotors)

Original Honda Brake Pads lo

Similar case as in.. steering vibration whilst hard braking, or "chet chet chet" sound?
