Did you...

bleed the brakes after you installed the new rotors and pads? You have to start at the ABS box in the engine compartment.

Why bother designing all this? Seems too complicated to me ) Anyway.... I've decided to order the guide pins for my front calipers and see what happens..... Do you guys know if subaruparts.com has a location. I see they are in Washington, but if they are close by I might as well go and pickup my stuff instead of waiting for shipping.

So, what's the best way to see if my rear rotors are warped then?

Thanks all for the input!

SVXRide,

I didn't bleed the system. Was I supposed to?

You shouldn't have to bleed them if you didn't open any bleeders while doing the brakes, unless it's really dirty then you should flush the whole system.


You should be able to feel if the rear disks are warped as opposed to the front. The front you can feel through the steering wheel, the rears you can feel through your but.

I'm guessing his brake system has never been flushed and is full of air/water/assorted crap. I know the fluid in my '92 looked like mud when I bled it after I put on new front rotors and pads.
