why does my Genesis G70 shake when I brake

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged.
• Wear safety gloves and goggles.

2. Lift the Vehicle

• Use a jack to lift the front of the vehicle.
• Secure with jack stands for safety.

3. Remove the Wheel

• Use a socket set to remove the lug nuts and take off the front wheels.

4. Inspect and Replace Brake Rotors

• Remove caliper bolts using the appropriate socket.
• Carefully lift the caliper and secure it without stressing the brake line.
• Remove the rotor by unscrewing any retaining screws and sliding it off the hub.
• Check for warping using a dial indicator or a straight edge; replace if necessary.
• Install new rotors, ensuring they are properly seated.

5. Inspect and Replace Brake Pads

• Remove old brake pads from the caliper bracket.
• Check for uneven wear and replace if needed.
• Apply brake grease to the back of the new pads to prevent noise.
• Install new brake pads into the caliper bracket.

6. Reassemble Components

• Reattach the caliper over the new pads and secure with bolts; torque to manufacturer specifications.
• Reinstall the wheel and lug nuts, tightening in a crisscross pattern to ensure even pressure.

7. Lower the Vehicle

• Carefully remove jack stands and lower the vehicle back to the ground.

Tools Required:

• Socket set
• Torque wrench
• Jack and jack stands
• Brake cleaner
• Brake grease
• Dial indicator (for rotor inspection)

Parts Required:

Estimated Repair Time: 2-4 hours

Safety Warnings:
