Thinking about changing my own brakes bc I don't wanna get slapped over the head by a mechanic but I've never done any work on my car before. I've been told it's pretty easy to change brake pads. Is that the case or am I gonna take my wheels off and be confused

It's not that hard, as long as you have the right tools, you can do it yourself.

yes sir

make sure u start in the morning ur first time can take all day

man one time I took my truck to a shop for brakes, even tho i would usually do it myself. then my dad is driving my truck and calls me saying the wheel locked up

i’m like WHAT

he’s like yeah the caliper/assembly came off and is jammed in the rim

those suckers didn’t tighten it and it could have been dangerous thankfully no one was hurt

Trying to pinpoint a issue, car randomly unstable at times with any bumpy road, especially if I do a hard pull. Only had car for 2 weeks but I do notice there’s two different brand tires on the car but doubt that could be the reason. They both summer tires , Bridgestone Re050A and extreme contact sport in the rear. Was randomly doing some spirit driving and car pushing me hard left or right on bumpy roads like it’s trying to auto correct my steering for me but 370Z don’t have no such features for that.

Good for you. Not many things more satisfying than working on your own car.

 

[TrafficLightBully]

What year.

2014, and I also check tire and don’t look bald or anything. Not sure why it’s doing this

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

maybe have someone go underneath check all suspension? ie tie rods steering links etc

Some cars require a special tool to compress the rear caliper piston (it’s sort of like a clamp with a key that spins the piston and pushes at the same time). FYI. You probably won’t be able to do it without it, but there could be some tricks out there idk about.

Is the car lowered at all? If the alignment is off, specifically the “toe” it will be unstable on bumpy roads. This happened after I lowered my mustang I felt it Would steer for me on bumps. I got a “bumpsteer kit” that fixed that though. If you’re not lowered just have them check alignment and your tie rods

Thanks for info, and not lowered yet but i have an appointment today with pep boy so they gonna check the alignment and suspension for me, hopefully it’s not a big issue. If that don’t work I’ll look into a bumpsteer kit because I plan on ordering some lowering springs and wheel spacers today so for sure need to get this problem fix before all that comes in the mail.

Lol that slow turtle was just so fun to drive so had to get another .... plus The 2016 340i I was looking to get, prices went up to around 32k which to much for me to accept. I’ll save for a faster 2nd car for sure but that Z have my heart.
