I agree that it is extremely common, but not that it is "caused" by the impact gun. I have barely six thousand miles on a set of new rotors, and they are already pulsating a bit, along with Autozone "lifetime" pads. I put the wheels on with a torque wrench, of course. Maybe I drove the vehicle in the rain, or made a panic stop or two, but what the hell are you supposed to do? Earle |

If it's ABS then have them check the front sensors, one is either out of range or close to it. If it's drag/release (warped rotor) then it may be a MFG defect. Long as your under waranty I'd have them diagnose it. If the finding is warped rotor, and you have to go out of pocket to fix it, your better off buying new rotors and installing them yourself. It's not a hard job. Basically, if you can change a tire you can replace a rotor. It's just two more bolts. -- DougW |

proper brake-in (pun intended) is key to long brake life. http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp...rakedisk.shtml |
lunch. During the week I had, among
other things, relined 25 sets of vintage Lotus race car brake shoes with NOS
Ferrodo asbestos linings. This stuff is nearly impossible to find and prized
by vintage racers.
The catalog shows brake shoes and pads, "made with non-asbestos low friction
linings to avoid sqeaking". Low friction brake linings? For those times when
you really don't want to stop? What next, high friction oil?

They don't have high friction brake oil, but I'm willing to bet
they would carry it.

One other 'scam' reported is to 'fix' it free under warranty by turning
it so when it runs out of warranty there is no turning left and you them
must replace it on your dime.
