hey guys, i bought my car back in sept and from the go the brakes have shuddered ALOT when braking hard/comming down hills etc so im thinking maybe the rotors are warped and im wondering whats the kit i should be after for the front and rear, and also pads. i dont play silly buggers or anything, just to work and back and probably a 200km round trip every 2 weeks to see the inlaws. so i dont need those cop pads i see in the faq or anything.
im in wollongong nsw too.
Also theres been a found from what i think is the front left, ive been told it sounds like a wheel bearing, its worse when the car has been parked for ages, and im assuming is cold. Its like a whirring/scrubbing type of noise that the frequency of the sound changes with the speed, its quite audible in the cabin if you pay attention to it, i took it to a mechanic a couple of months back and he said it had a tiny amount of shift in the wheel when he shook it but nothing extreme or worth worrying about. But the noise is farkin annoying!.
He quoted me something like $225 for the bearing plus 80 bucks or so labour. not sure if thats a rip off or not?
sorry for the vague description lads, im not a car person haha, but love my como and want to keep it running well as i have a youngin i drive about, plus the better half. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
thank you
