Got the car back last night from the mechanic. Replaced left/rear caliper and fluid change (again), pads and rotor were OK. All other brakes were inspected including parking brake system. I retorqued the lugs on all 4 wheels this morning like I always do after someone works on it.
The front hub threads do go all the way through the hub, but with an alloy wheel installed the bolt only engages threads about 3/4 through. Consequently the exposed threads end up filled with junk over the years. Mechanic chased the threads with a M12x1.5 tap and bolts now spin all the way through the hub.
Quick test drive today on the highway, took it up to 80 with no shaking.
