I just replace rear brake pads on my 2001 Daewoo Nubira. One brake rotor had a small chunck out of it. Now when I put brakes on the brakes kind of vibrate. Is this due to the brake rotor and will putting a new one on take care of the vibration.

Brake rotors can warp. This will definitely cause vibration while braking. You might have more than one. Most auto parts stores will check them for free if you take them in. They can be cut to retrue them as long as they do not fall below their minimum thickness.

Brakes are a definite safety item that should be maintained for peak performance. Good luck and let us know.

Suggested Repair

Have the rear brake rotors inspected for warping and damage, often free at an auto parts store. Rotors can be machined true if they remain above minimum thickness; replace any rotor that is damaged or too thin. True rotors should stop the vibration while braking.

Conversation Summary

After replacing the rear brake pads on a 2001 Daewoo Nubira, the owner noticed a chunk missing from one rotor and vibration when braking. The expert said warped rotors commonly cause brake vibration, more than one rotor may be affected, and rotors can be checked and resurfaced if they stay above minimum thickness.
