My 2004 Accord had smooth braking until I put on ceramic brake pads last year as recommended by my mechanic. Since then, there has been a terrible grinding and vibration. The rotors, which were new a year ago were recently turned, and the rear shoes were inspected and found to be in good shape. After driving on the ceramics for about 24,000 miles, yesterday, I went back to a new Honda pads. Has anybody else had this experience? Any success with ceramics?
Ceramic is the friction material on the factory pads for late-model Honda's. You should only use Ceramic pads on these vehicles, which means the fact that they are ceramic pads is not your problem.
Why the hell did you eat a hand warmer? if your not joking, i suggest going to hospital! Or just play solitaire, that would work to!
I know that ceramic pads tend to squeal like mad on some cars but definitely go with what the car manufacturer says to put on it.
I could be wrong but the original honda pads on that are ceramic. Ceramic pads are louder but give off less brake dust and they disipate heat better.
Actually, I have read that after the warmer has been used it is no longer toxic, but to be safe induce vomiting.
