Hey all,
I had a new passenger's side wheel bearing put in my front end on Monday of this week. That cured the loud growling sound coming from my front end. Now the issue is that I'm getting a squeaking from the brake assembly on that side when I'm not touching the brakes, and a fluttering sound/slight vibration in the pedal when I brake. I have been told that if the bearing was bad long enough, my pads may have worn unevenly and are now hitting the rotor at a wierd angle. In my experience, these things just don't wear themselves back in properly over time... they just keep wearing unevenly. As of yesterday, that fluttering sound has become a slow thunk as a come to a stop, and I was getting a fast thumping coming from the front end as I was cruising down the highway.
Any ideas as to what's going on here? I have new brembo rotors/bendix pads as of last summer when I did the SVT brake upgrade, so I'd hate to have to get that rotor turned and buy new pads...
Any help would be great, I'm really at a loss for what's going on.
