I just got new breaks (stock OEM) and i went to go test them out to s e how they were and really week but i just thought this normal for a few days and then i was drinving and wite smoke started to come out of the right rear tire. i took it to the shop and they said that because i was breaking hard it made them smoke because they treat the new rotors with some oil to prolong shelf life and i burnt it off really quickly. is this true? and my "new" breaks are still ver week and it been about 4 days since i got them. should i take it back.

 

so u got rear brakes done? ya i did mine too and i must agree they are weak. so were u applying the ebrake instead of the foot brake? there should a tiny bit of smoke. should even be enough to blur vision. if they were rly smoking then i think u have a problem. maybe try spray ur brakes with sum brake cleaner and see if it does anything. and does it still smoke?

 

I will give that a try but i really hope that they dont stay this week. Cause the breaks on my 94 blazer were better then this.

 

well when you get new brakes there is crap on them that gets burned off the first time you beed them in. mine were smoking so bad people told me about it at stop lights.

 

HAHA, good ol' smoky rotors. I had the same problem as jeff, ive had people tell me about it at stop lights.. its hilarious. o well, another day another dollar... i guess??

but its normal dont worry.
