Smoking rotor - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #23497 10 posts Started by ModdedST
My car is mess. Shocks blown ( i ordered them though) and now this, might be related. I hear a thumping when i drive and my rotor is really hot afterwords, like smoking. What is rubbing here? is it shock-blown related? My car is such a mess
I had the problem with the rotor too.. I changed the rotors and pads... drove around a lil but and it got real hot again... my caliper was sticking... i changed it and now i'm fine
is it a clicking/thumping at slow speeds?
if so i have that sometimes and haven't figured out what it is yet.

i had the same problem,, change the caliper
ok, do i need new rotors? I have 2 sets of irotors so it wont be a big deal
id say change them while ur down there.. save the old ones if there not bad..
the slotted ones are not bad i got a set off ebay for cheap
I have the same model, and I had to replace the driver's side caliper becuase it was sticking. The way I was shown was on a hoist the wheel when pushed by your hand moves rather easily, when the caliper is sticking it will be notchy and not smooth.
