What adjustments are needed on a 2004 saturn vue if the rear brakes were just replaced but the pulsing in the brake pedal continues. If the drums were turned but not replaced. If I replace the drums now?

then in this case you will need to cut the roters and drums

Brakes are pulsating in pedal. we've changed calipers, turned drums and rotors, replaced pads, bled brake lines. what could be causing the pulsating and egg out feeling.

Your rear drums are out of round (warped). Eventhough you turned them the problem will not go away because they have hot spots in them that turning can't remove. You need to replace them with new ones to solve this problem. Pulsing pedal is rear brakes and a shimmy in the steering wheel while braking is in the front brakes.. Good luck I hope this helps you out.

I have a 2003 saturn vue that i just replaced the rear brakes and turned the drums on. Now i'm having problems with them clicking when i aply them to stop.There is no problem stoping

Remove drums and inspect the resurfacing job. If it looks like a record they resurfaced them on too fast of a cut , or out of round . If there isn't enough metal on drum to resurface again time for new drums.

2004 saturn vue awd HELP!!

The RDM or Rear Differential Module on these GM vehicles (Vue, Torrent, Equinox) is a known weak point. It is most likely shot as the trans outputs power to the front and rear equally; gearotor pump(s) in the RDM then assign traction to each rear wheel if the wheel is turning slower than the input. So if it is still turning it must not be transmitting that torque to either "braked" rear wheel... There was a recall for the RDM in which GM quietly increased the slippage at which it engauged the rear wheels due to high failure rates...

Loose emergency brake on 2004 Saturn Vue

Apply and fully release the park brake several times. Verify that the park brake lever releases completely.
Turn ON the ignition. Verify the red BRAKE warning lamp is not illuminated.
If the red BRAKE warning lamp is illuminated, verify the following:

The park brake lever is in the fully released position and against the stop.
There is no slack in the park brake cable.

Turn OFF the ignition.
Disable the SIR system.
Remove the front floor console.
With the park brake lever in the released position, using ONLY hand tools, loosen the adjusting nut completely to the end of the front cable threaded rod.
Raise and support the vehicle.
Remove the rear tire and wheel assemblies.
Adjust the rear drum brakes.
Ensure there is no brake shoe drag after adjustment by rotating the brake drums. If drag exists, re-center the brake shoes and perform the brake shoe adjustment again.
Install 2 wheel nuts to the wheel studs and firmly hand tighten in order to retain the brake drums.
Lower the vehicle to permit access to the park brake lever.
Raise the park brake lever 1 detent position. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

2004 Saturn Vue Brakes

The vibration is caused by the rotors being warped. Remove the front tires and check the front brake pads. Replace if needed. This is a pretty straight forward job. The rotors are "fall off" rotors and you won't need anything special tool wise.

Once you have the rear wheels removed and the back of the vehicle safely supported, then inspect the drum.If there is (there might not be) shiny brass looking phillips head screw bolts on the face of the drum, then remove those by turning them counterclockwise.If there is no screws, or you already removed them, then your next step is to take a fairly heavy hammer( at least a 2lb ) a firmly hit the face of the drum to shock it loose from the hub assembly.Be careful not to hit the studs , you can damage them.Keep on with the forceful hits on the face of the drum, and alternate the hits across from each other on the face of the drum.Make sure your parking brake is not set and the drum can come off...I hope I could help!!! Rate me accordingly...Thanks.
