If you suspect you have warped rotors or your brakes are failing, it is important that you avoid driving your vehicle and contact a mechanic right away. Driving with warped rotors potentially will result in a brake system failure, which can cause injury to yourself and those around you.

In summary, yes, you can drive with a faulty O2 sensor. But you'll want to change it immediately, because otherwise, you'll be spending more money on fuel and you risk having to spend more on a new catalytic converter as well.

The hotter the pads run, the faster they wear. The quality of the metal from which a rotor is cast has a major impact on rotor life and performance. The better the metallurgy in the rotor, the better it will perform on the vehicle. Economy rotors are typically made from the cheapest scrap iron.

Scoring and grooves in a rotor can impede its capacity to slow the vehicle, as well as cause vibration and pulsation that can be felt in the pedal. Plus, when the pedal no longer interacts with the brake rotor, the ensuing vibration may make it feel like the car will not stop at all.

Duralast rotors and drums are as good as you're going to get from any other company. Like someone said, they are all made in taco land anyway. Do get some kind of Ceramic brake pads though, they are a LOT easier on your rotors than the standard sintered metal pads.

DBA rotors are great. Used them (old slotted design, replaced now by the T2 model?) in track cars doing a collective 1000-1800 laps a day. No issues other then warping if the car has been sitting too long after coming in hot. This would happen on any rotor.

The heat would crash the wheel completely. To avoid this situation, it is recommended to drive at the slower speed so that your wheel stays in action a few more hours. SO, while thinking how long can you drive on a bad bearing? You should not go more than 1000 miles as it might result in some bigger issue.

If the brake rotor isn't glowing red or on fire then I would say all is well. They will definitely be too hot to touch after a spirited drive. ... Heat is a by product of friction generated by braking.

Yes, you'll still be able to drive your car if your turbocharger fails; however, engine failure won't be far behind, so only drive on if you have to.

Can I spin or do burnout in a car with automatic transmission? Yes. The best way to do it is the following: put the car into Drive, hold the foot brake, build the revs then release the foot brake.

You can safely drive at legal speeds with a missing lug nut; however, you should head to your nearest tire shop as soon as possible. Over time, this excess pressure can wear down the other lug nuts. This can lead to adverse effects on the wheel bearings.

Driving with a bad wheel bearing can cause the axle/hub/spindle to weld itself from friction and heat causing the wheel to lock up and spin you out. More likely, the metal will wear away from the friction and the wheel/hub will become loose.

Conclusion on is it safe to drive with a bad camshaft sensor Basically, you can continue to drive your car if the car is running smoothly with no funny sound, stall or acceleration issues, but if your car is not running as usual then consider replacing the crankshafts sensor, but before you do that run a proper text.

It is not a good idea to drive with a worn wheel bearing because it is an essential part of holding the wheel onto your vehicle. ... If you hear your vehicle grinding while you are driving, you may have a worn wheel bearing. The grinding means there is mechanical damage and this should be checked out as soon as possible.

In drifting it's not uncommon to break parts, and also cause potential failures in parts like like axles, and drivetrain components. High rpm and abuse accelerates wear on the transmission, engine, and other various components throughout the car (brakes, tires. Etc).

If you have a stuck caliper, the brake pad will not completely disengage from the surface of the brake rotor. This means you will be driving with the brakes applied slightly all of the time. Driving with a stuck caliper can create stress on the transmission, causing it to fail earlier.
