It could have been one of those dreams where you wake up still thinking the dream was real, and it takes you awhile to figure out that is wasn't. When that happens I feel like breaking something, but then my stuff would be broken. Instead I take a break and shower, head to work, and then laugh about it while i'm on my break.

 

Ahh, now that you've said that I'm done with the word games. I would take all four wheels off and inspect the calipers (capiltors) and pads. Good luck man, and thanks for the entertainment. Oh, by the way, I don't miss Trey.

 

So um, I know what to look for on the pads and the breaks, but what do i look for on the calipers?

 

Well, since I assume (you know what assume makes, right? ) that you know which corner of the car has the problem, I take that one apart. Maybe take the caliper thing off, clean it good, and try to figure out if it's siezed up. If it is I'd get 2 new sets. Might as well replace both (both fronts/rears).

 

Usually everthing AZ sells has a warranty just take it back and get new ones.

 

Man, Arizona sells alot of stuff. That's alot of returns! I don't think it's his brake pads though. He's probably looking at other problems.

 

Interesting that I haven't seen anyone mentioning rotor(s) except me. Do you have any idea how much rotors cost.

 

Hmmm...no, but im sure the place i buy them from will. I am chaning them. The front of the rear break is really rough now... Really the break pads not lasting doesn't bother me as much as the fact that they didn't even squeak. Just started grinding.

 

Ive never had problems with autozone brakes. Maybe you need a caliper rebuild. It doesnt cost much and its easy. To the person saying rotors are $$$, no they are not. Autozones rotors are only $19 a piece. Ive used them on the rear for a year with hard braking and no problems. I would reccomend them to anyone.

 

 

Hey: $19.00 is a 6-pak and a pizza.

 

Even if you changed the pads, that has nothing to do with a stuck caliper piston or wheel cylinder. Good pads could be worn down in no time if they are forced against the rotor/drum all the time.

Perhaps a little investigation is warranted before anyone bashes the crappy parts from even Autozone.

 

Ok i got them changed. I changed the calipers/rotors/pads. I used the 60 dollar llifetime warrenty brakes. The reason they weren't squeaking is because only the outside pads where bad. THe inside ones looked brand new. I lubed up the new calipers guides(whatever they are called) pretty good.

Oh well, Yea me.

 

Wasn't bashing the parts. A catchy tittle gets more views. If you read the post you would see that I wasn't saying "These stupid pads, they should sue whoever made them."

More, the pads are stupid, because they are worn. I car all of my car parts names....gay opti, retarded transmission mount, evil center console.
