Consumer Description

ROTORS (FRONT DISCS) WARP EXTEMELY QUICKLY BECAUSE OF CYLINDER SEAL. SEAL IS ALLOWING BRAKE PADS TO REMAIN IN CONTACT WITH ROTORS. BRAKING AT HIGH SPEED CAUSES THE FRONT END TO VIBRATE AND IS VERY DIFFICULT. ROTORS TURNED AND PADS REPLACED AT 36000, AND IS NEEDED AGAIN AT 59000. THIS VIBRATION IS ALSO CAUSING THE FRONT END TO GET OUT OF ALIGNMENT VERY QUICKLY. IN 59000 IT HAS REQUIRED 4 MAJOR ALIGNMENTS AND IS NOW IN NEED OF 5TH. *AK
