Re: Brake Problem
OK...to make suggestions on the tire situation I'll need just a tad bit more info. Where are the tires wearing the heaviest? Is it just the inside edge…is it the center of the tread…outside edge…or sidewalls? The contributors…(Outside of driving the car Indy car style…on two wheels and all…hehe)….are usually alignment or suspension related. Alignment…maybe too much camber/caster…toe in/out….Is the car lowered? Tires warping?? Don’t understand what your describing here….please explain further.
The pulsing brakes could theoretically be wheel balance, alignment, suspension related, but the most common would be warped rotors or a bad wheel bearing. But I must now ask if this particular Elantra has ABS (Antilock Braking System)? I purposely bought my GT without ABS because Hyundai hasn’t proven to me that they know how to make a competent ABS system. If you applied too much braking and the wheel sensors have a latency issue…or if you decelerate faster than the ABS computer is expecting (algorithm dependent), it will activate the ABS system which does pulse your brakes. This function allows you to continue steering a vehicle during heavy braking instead of going into an uncontrolled skid.
