the tires are new and are properly inflated, how should i go about checking the brakes? and what should i check for? (besides warping)

if the tires are new it is possible they weren't balanced properly, take it to the shop and have them re-balanced.

the brakes will only cause shudder when you press on the brakes, if the car shudders while you aren't using the brakes it is something else.

yeah thats what it does if im over 50 mph it shakes when braking, so if i get the tires balanced it should sovle the problem? o and its just the new tires not the rims

you wanna check to make sure that there is plenty of pad left on the brake.

mine used to shake when braking from high speeds then it started shaking whenever i was braking then i was grinding metal and then tossed on new brakes and rotors and everything fixed (brake pads were almost gone)

neo8222

how much pad should there be cause i havent seen new ones for a mustang before

crusher101

well all i can say is that you wanna see pad

how many miles on the pad and any highway miles?

neo8222

earlier today i had the wheel off to see if the rotors were warped at all and they weren't but it also gave me a chance to look at the pad, there was about 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch of pad on the one i could see. and as far as how many miles i dont know i only got the car monday.

crusher101

you shouldnt just check one wheel to see if the rotors are warped.

they become warped sometimes from hitting puddles on a hot day and such either way they can be warped separately

neo8222

alright, when i can ill check them all but i think its more the alignment and/or balancing than anything else. o and my SES light came on again i guess i got shell out $50 for the new part o well

if it was the rotors being warped then it would shake when you stopped regardless of how fast you were moving. same with alignment. check tires and brakes
