04 Corolla CE Braking issue
Okay I'm looking for some input on the issue my wife's 04 corolla is having.
The description of whats happening:
When driving the car over over 50mph it will start to shimmy a bit through through the brake pedal and the steering wheel. When you brake lightly or to slow down if feels as if the rotor is warped and I can hear a noise (not a sequel more like a growling whirl) that will coincide with the pulsing pedal.
The noise and pulsing will go away when we bring the car to a stop and start going again. It will also go away while turning left.
On top of that the front steel rim will get pretty hot like the caliper is sticking.
Also this doesn't happen all the time. It seems sporadic but once it starts happening on a trip it will continue to happen when ever we get to the 45-55mph range.
So thinking it was a sticking front drivers side caliper (the noise seems to be emanating from the front left) I replaced it yesterday. This did not fix the issue.
The pads look new and the rotors also look good as I replaced them last fall. When I did them I replaced the shims and they still seem to be in good shape.
Aslo I get no movement in the hub in any direction so it seems the wheel bearing is fine.
Can anyone give me an idea? I'm really unsure of what to try next.
Thanks,
Mike
