Wheel and brake pedal shake

SouthArk370Z

Is there any advantage to babying things for a while or is it one of those just-how-I've-always-done-it things? I've always bedded immediately after a pad/rotor change. But that's just how I've always done it.

For safety's sake....you should bed. This process is what mates the surface of the pad to the surface of the rotor. Until everything is fully seated and surfaces match, you will not have full braking ability. Plus it cleans old deposits off your rotors for the new pads.

I'd guess he's going by the recommendations in the Baer Brakes Tech section... read through it, it does a good job (IMO) of explaining the importance of each step...

Those directions seem to be aimed at high-performance components (and a specific type). But I could be wrong. It still seems to me that for OEM-grade and not so hi-po components, immediate break-in is the way to go. BuckeyeZ agrees but I still have an open mind about it.

Good point and I think you might be right. Although it also might not be the worst thing following that advice... Informative none-the-less.
