Gentlemen:
I come to you today from the parking lot of a mini storage, a few blocks away from the alignment shop where I just had my new front end aligned.
The front end is fresh with all new parts, Bendix rotors, and Raybestos pads - and until this point, I've never driven it except at 2mph from one driveway to another.
Well, I hit the brakes to the worst grinding, grating, and vibration any one could humanly expect at 2mph. Also hear circular scraping too after braking. It's not drivable.
Took a look underneath and everything looks good, so I'm left to guess this is a pad/rotor incompatibility. Would make sense, as it gets worse with a hard braking application, and improves when released. Sound right? Or am I overlooking something?
FYI - alignment appears spot-on. Have no reason to suspect it. -0.5 camber, +6 caster.
