![]() ![]() The Wearever rotors rust more than the Centric rotors.īy the way, Newegg has the Rear - ACT1088A with theĭisc hard ware kit - metal pad clips at a lower price. The Wearever brake pads produce more dust then the Akebono brake pads, but much less than the original 2005 brake pads that came with Odyssey back then. We used it once and then went back to Akebono and Centric. Advance auto had a packaged deal if you buy both Wearever brake pads and rotors. We are very happy with the Centric as opposed to Wearever rotors. The "A" at the end of the model number means that the product comes with the disc hardware kit - metal pad clips.įor the Centric rotors, these are the models We had used two sets of Akebono brake pads for the front and one set of Akebono brake pads in the back and they worked really well. I had noticed some 'grabbing' as I came to a stop in the last few months and when I took the rotor off there was a distributed pattern of 'stuff' on the surface and I think that may have been connected to the pulsing/grabbing when applying the brakes.Click to expand.We got the two sets of Akebono brake pads above from Amazon with those prices. I am kind of thinking that when the caliper can no longer float, the pad wear becomes uneven and starts to cause problems. I used the second pin and seal set and lots of brake grease but if I were to do it again I would replace all the pins and seals and put new grease in all the bracket holes to avoid this problem. This last time, about a month ago, one of the pins was seized up so tight that I had to drill and ream it out. I bought a kit the first time and used only one pin and seal. I have noticed however that in the last two changes the pins that let the caliper 'float' on the bracket sometimes have seized inside the machined hole in the bracket. I do the work myself so the rotors are about $35 each. I have just decided to replace the rotors at every pad change. If you have to pay someone to do it, it can add up quickly. I do my own work, so swapping out the rotors is under $100 plus about 1.5 hours of my time. This is a relatively inexpensive annoyance that Honda should have addressed from day one. I don't expect to keep the car long enough for these rotors to warp on me. I didn't get the BA again as the price has jumped about 50% since the last time I bought them. The latest rotors I bought were Raybestos performance rotors from RockAuto. The BA rotors lasted a little longer, but they too were short lived. The next set was Beck Arnley rotors that included the Honda design improvement with extra vents. My first set of replacements were centric rotors that were cryogenically treated, that was wasted money as they lasted no longer than the originals. Honda did a minor brake rotor redesign to their front rotors, you will see additional cooling vents around the hat area of their rotors. The rears don't have the same problem as the fronts. My car has 90k miles and I just installed the car's 4th set of front rotors. The problem is a marginal braking system for the car. Sadly, that is not unusual for Odyssey's. I don't know if this was the problem, but I never had this problem again. This cause most of the braking to happen in the front brakes. I decided to replace the master cylinder, because I suspected "internal" leaking in the rear braking circuit. I had the rotors turned and replaced the pads for a fix. If I pushed on the brake pedal hard while traveling 65+mph on a downhill grade, the front rotors would warp. I didn't have the shake problem until after the car had over 80K on it. ![]() ![]() Is this the normal lifespan of rotors?Īlso, I bought a new 1988 Honda Accord. Some of the posts I read in this forum indicate this problem reoccurring at 30K to 40K. At times, I would replace the worn pads without turning the rotors if there wasn't a shaking problem. The repair required turning the rotors and replacing the pads. ![]() I encountered the same problem after the vehicle had over 90K mile on it. I bought a new 2003 Odyssey and drove it for 270,000 miles. I would think disc brakes would be more durable than drum brakes, or at least have less maintenance. I don't understand why I encounter this problem with disc brakes. I tried bedding the brakes again, recently, which seemed to help. I "bedded" the brake pads when I installed the new rotors and pads. I am easy on the brakes, and I haven't made any "panic" stopes. The problem is back with only 16,000 miles on these parts. I replaced all four rotors and pads last year. Currently, I have a 2010 Odyssey that has a steering wheel shake when braking at higher speeds (60mph and above). Question: Why do front brake rotors warp causing braking problems? I've owned many Hondas over the years, and one problem I've had is disc brake problems. ![]()
