I recently replaced my rear brakes, even though it wasn't absolutely necessary, and changed my rear struts. If I apply the brakes at highway speed there is a loud grinding noise and you can feel it too. What is wrong? The car has 85,000 miles and I did not see any rotor damage when I replace the brakes.

You never change pads without changing rotors! Throw a new set or rotors on the car and you'll be good to go.

wel grinding would be rotors bad but could be job wasnt right so first re check your work something is not right grinding either bad pads or out of line some way grinding leaves marks cant miss it
could be rust that the new brake pads are rubbing on.

How many labor hours to change all 4 struts on a 1999 hyundai accent ?
I dont feel like looking it up but probably 2.2 or so for the front and 2.8 for the rear. So 5 hrs labor times going rate 100/hr give or take 20 bucks depending where you live.

The answer from WillS sounds right to me, but do your struts really need replacing? The last time I had it done, it was because an overzealous service writer talked me into it. As part of the deal, I asked to see the old struts. When the job was done, I asked for the old strut cartidges and the mechanic pointed to a dumpster full of old parts and told me I could go find them. GRRRRR!
I say there was nothing wrong with the struts.
If your strut cartridges are bad, the car will continue to rock more than twice after hitting a bump and there should some oil seeping from the seals at the top of the strut cartidges.
Have youe mechanic PROVE you need the cartridges.

How much is it to change the front struts on a 2004 trailblazer?
Its a pain in the ***. If you dont have the right tools or experience doing it, then dont.
If you do attempt to try it, DO NOT DISASEMBLE THE STRUT ITSELF.
The strut is one unit, it comes out and in all together. If you take the strut apart you will need special tools to put it back together.
Why do I know this, because I took it apart once. Just let the shop do it, you have better things to do with your time.

ABS Light on 1999 Toyota Avalon?
Hello Everyone. I had my struts replaced on my 1999 Toyota Avalon. When I got it back, the ABS light stayed on and has never turned off. Anyone tell me why changing the struts in a Toyota would cause the ABS light to come on?
ABS Light on 1999 Toyota Avalon?
Because the ABS computer need to know what your wheels are doing, they have wheel speed sensors (wss) at each wheel, you will have hopefully unplugged not cut the wiring for it, its usually located in the hub assembly itself. when the ECU measures in incorrect or open circuit, it disables the ABS system and turn on the warning light to let you know it somethings gone wrong.
You need to check if the strut you changed has the wss plugged in. You may also need to clear the ABS and main ECU's of fault codes to extinguish your warning light. to check its all good usually need to drive it a reasonable speed before a faultcode will register, hope that helps.

ywah and if that appears to be all good, trace the wiring back from the hub, its probably been disonnected, or said mechanics have squashed the wire, in which case they will have to replace the wss, easily done!
take it back to who worked on it and tell them whats going on
Possibly he knocked or unpluged the wire to the wheel sensors when he put the struts on and forgot to plug one of the sensors back in, take it back to them and explain the situation.software finger nails blue

Struts on a 2006 toyota corolla?
We were recently at our dealer for a regular check-up. The car has 115,000 km on it and we were told that the left rear strut is leaking. We have felt no bumping or anything else unusual in the way the car drives. We barely drive it, especially in the summer. I've even heard of cars going way longer and never having to change the struts. Questions:
1 - how can we tell ourselves if and how much the strut is leaking? Wouldn't there be a spot on the driveway?
2 - can we replace it ourselves?
Struts on a 2006 toyota corolla?
1 - You raise the car and remove the wheel, and look at the strut. If it's wet (as though oil has been leaking from it) you have a leak (don't do this after driving through puddles, of course :) ).
2 - Yes, but you don't want to. It's dangerous and a huge PITA. Take it to an independent mechanic and see about getting a 'quick strut'. It's a complete strut assembly with a new mount, new bearing, new boot, new bumpstop, and new spring. It will cost about $120 more than a plain strut (figure on $200 for a quick strut assembly) but you get a lot more new parts, and save some money in labor since they're much easier to install.Figure $225 for a plain strut, or about $270-300 for the quick strut assembly.
Of course labor rates vary by region, so this might be low or high by a bit.
And a bad strut won't affect safety unless it's noticeably bad, and won't wear other parts, so let this one go until you have a problem you can notice.

I would get a second opinion go to any repair shop ,but a dealer.

Need Help with a 01 impala?
hey whats up... awhile back i hit a curb pretty hard to avoid an accident... well people are telling me to change the strut that should help alot of the problems(my abs light comes on im figuring its the strut ((could that be it?))) well im not 100% if the strut is the problem but can someone with more experience with this help me out?
Need Help with a 01 impala?
Have the car scanned with decent diagnostic system. Any ABS trouble should appear immediately on screen. This will aid in finding the exact fault. The impact may have damaged the ABS sensor and/or related parts, which may need to be replaced.

If anything it is probably your ABS sensor on that wheel.

Do twenty inch rims fit on a 1995 toyota avalon or do i have to change the struts?
Twenty inch tires and rims would probably cost you more than your car is worth, plus you would also have the problem of all the local %26quot;low lifes%26quot; trying to steal them all the time.
I mean you no disrespect, but I know you guys that buy those things think it makes you look soooooo cool, but really everyone else on the road is laughing at you.
