My brake pads are rubbing against my rotors. Is there anyway to adjust this?

 

Hate to tell you this...but they are supposed to.Just a little,to keep the rotors and pads clean.Now of its a lot,you have a stuck caliper.

 

But these are causing my wheel to vibrate... and bounce when braking.

 

It sounds like you have a warped rotor then.See if it can be staightened on a lathe,or you need a new one.

 

As noted earlier, if it rubbing while not braking, may be a stuck caliper. If it is only occuring when braking, you have a warped rotor. If you feel the vibration in the steering wheel, it is the front rotors. If you feel it in the car seat, it is the rear rotors. I just replaced the rears at approx. $18 a rotor. I think the front rotors are about $5 more. Most places will probably turn your rotor for $15. So you will have to decide, turn them or get new ones.

 

I feel it in the front and in the rear .... (theres something kinky in there)... But I had the rotors turned... new pads... and regreased the bushings, but when I turn the wheel manually without engaging the brake it free spins about 270 degrees of rotation then gets really tight... My front end bounces around horribly on the front driverside.. although everything is new from the rack and pinion to the A-arms and bushings. I'm sctraching my head becasue something is causing this and I can't figure out what.

 

I have a warped rotor on my drivers side rear, and it makes SO much noise. I bought a replacement, but it has a front rotor on it. Kind of weird, and I can't get it off to replace it.

 

"Brakes" don't belong on "LT1/LT4 Engine Tech". Please post on the correct forum.
