Update: Shakin' and Brakin' - Still need help Posted by Randy Thatcher [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I wet the rotors and waited an hour. Then I drove to the garage (75 feet). I put the car up the ramps. Front first, then rear.
Braking wore the rust off the rotors evenly on all 4 corners. Well, the outside. I didn't remove wheels and look at the insides.
None of the rims appear to be bent.
All tires appear to be OK. No weights seem to be missing.
BUT, here's what I did see. The metal that got smacked when I hit the massive pothole was the "loop" of metal (hook eye?) just next to the front-right lower A-arm. It got bent a bit inward/up towards the engine. It had to take a nice beating. So, knowing that took a hit, could something be out of whack?
Also, upon close inspection, the rear rotors appear to have a nice lip on them. Pads look pretty good, but rotors have the lip.
Is there any test for brakes that would help me zero in on the culprit?
Randy
