Installing new struts on a vehicle is a simple task, even for those who don't have any technical or automotive experience. However, it is a task that can be quite time-consuming for anyone who has not done this particular chore before.

To start, loosen the lug nuts and support the vehicle on jack stands. Take the tire off and then take off the brake calipers. This part will look somewhat different from vehicle to vehicle. Do not disconnect the brake line as this is not absolutely necessary and will further complicate the task.

Now remove the rotor (the smooth circular metal disk that the brake pads and then take off the hub and bearing. When doing this, remember the order and placement of these parts. Next, separate the axle and transaxle and then unscrew the nut that attaches the tie rod to the knuckle. Now, remove the lower ball joint from the lower control arm so you can get to the nuts securing the cover plate. Remove the nuts and the entire strut assembly.

Now, simply position the new strut in place of the old one. Replace the cover plate and tighten the nuts that secure it. Then put the ball joint back in the lower control arm. Replace the nut that secures the tie rod to the knuckle, and put the transaxle back into position with the axle.

Next, put the bearing and hub back into position and slide the rotor back in place. Put the caliper assembly back into position on top of the rotor. Hopefully, the brake pads are still in place as they will occasionally drop out when the caliper is removed from the rotor. If they do drop out, you will have to compress the caliper back into position to be able to get it mounted back onto the rotor. After the caliper is aligned properly on the rotor, simply put the tire back on. Lightly tighten the lug nuts, lower the car off the jack and torque the lug nuts properly.

How I Fixed the Weak Brakes on My Chrysler 300

Admittedly I am a lead-foot. And, my 300 is happy to comply with my speed demands. Chrysler got that part right. But when it comes time to halt the mass of my silver bullet, the brakes shutter a little and fade fast. This can be a little scary.

A few weeks ago I took a trip to the Sierras for a weekend fishing trip. On my return, dropping down from 9,000 feet, I was made painfully aware of just how under-engineered my stock brakes were. I came hauling around a corner to find a Ford truck going way too slow and I had to hit the brakes pretty hard. To my dismay, they barely had enough stopping power to keep me from destroying my beautiful front end. My stopping power had faded so much that, I swear, it was like trying to stop a train Fred Flintstone-style – with my feet. It was at that moment I decided to replace my stock brake rotors.

I have had this thought before but haven’t wanted to fork out the extra dough for better brake rotors. And, I wouldn’t trust myself to install them properly. This incident changed my mind and when I got back to sea-level I started my research.

The first thing I did was go to Google and searched for brakes but this proved too generic. Then I did a search for performance rotors and came across a couple decent looking websites. Turns out there is a huge market for aftermarket rotors, I guess I am not the only one with this need. I don’t really know any brands so I relied on the customer reviews. The two brands that stuck out as positive from a performance and price standpoint were EBC rotors and Power Slot rotors. I thought they would be a lot more expensive but a set of front rotors is actually pretty affordable.

I also learned about slotted rotors and how they help conduct heat away from the rotors which is one of the things that creates fade. But the other thing is that these performance rotors are also larger in diameter then stock rotors so they have more surface area. The EBC brand was pricier then the Power Slot brand, I think because they also have these dimples which I presume help to cool the rotors more efficiently. In the end, I figured that it wasn’t that big of a difference and purchased the cheaper Power Slot rotors.

The next think I needed to do was decide whether or not I would install them myself. The sales agent that sold me the rotors said it was pretty simple. But, I am a musician and don’t want to destroy my hands so I contacted my local auto mechanic and asked him how much he would charge to install them. He said it would take about two hours. I figured this was worth the piece of mind that comes with proper installation.

I got my rotors in like three days, took my beloved 300 to the mechanic and now I am driving and stopping in style.

If you have a similar problem I would highly recommend Power Slot rotors. I am sure the EBC rotors are fine too, that’s not the point. The point is for a few hundred dollars I have dramatically increased my stopping power and peace of mind.

Which branded Brake Rotor is the best choice for my Infiniti FX35?

Hello guys,

As I have new 22inch wheels for my Infiniti Fx35, I would like to know what
the best choice is for new Brake Rotors as mine are nearly gone. Also can I use the same OEM size with 22inch wheels or do I have to upgrade to bigger rotors(380mm) Brands and websites to the rotors would be appreciated. Do Brembo do a brake rotor replacement for the FX?

Thanx buddies.

You can't use larger rotors......Not without replaceing a whole bunch of other stuff.

Go with dealer OEM equipment.
