Default Shaking noise from the rear brakes...
Hi Experts,

i've change my rear brakes last weekend (the disks and the brake pads). And now it brakes very well, but there always some shaking noise (like when link kits have to be changed). When i press brake pedal, the noise disapears. I think, it comes the left side.
(Freestar 2005 SE)

any ideas?

thks

Were they cheap rotors? If these are out of round they will cause vibration, which can disappear during braking.

I have had this problem in the past with several cars, I finally started buying slighly better quality rotors- just not the least expensive.
