Brake problem fixed, finally.
I've posted in here a few times about an ongoing issue with my brakes in where they would pull intermittently in either direction. I've had 4 new rotors, calipers, and all new pads put on, and new parking brake cables. This never fixed the problem. Yesterday my dealership service manager personally took my car to a performance alignment shop here in town. I said "John, uhhh, don't you guys have your own rack?" He said they did, but that he wanted a guy who does a lot of performance vehicles who specializes in alignments to do it. He took the car over there himself, stayed with it, and then delivered the car right to my door when it was done.
Turns out the camber on the right front wheel was out by almost 1/4". This was somehow causing the front end to pull one way or the other upon braking if the pavement wasn't perfectly flat. I had never heard of an alignment causing a brake pull issue, but the car seems to be fine atm. I hope it stays this way. Anyway, I posted this up in case anyone ever develops this issue, so you will have one more thing to look in to. p.s. Thank goodness I have an excellent service dept & service manager at my dealership. John Williams FTW! lol |
