Can hear breaks rubbing
« on: 10 August 2013, 09:48 »
So a few weeks ago I had my front pads and discs swapped to cure a wobbling brake pedal, this hasn't work so what else can it be?

You cn also hear then rubbing, even after driving 300+ miles?

It's seriously annoying

Anyone got any ideas?

Much appreciated

I got told my a local garage that it might of been warped discs, I mean it needed new discs and pads anyway, but they are being really sound with me and swapping the discs again FOC,
