1990 Vanagon Brake issue (revisited)
I posted this back on 4/20 if you want to revisit...
Now I'm having rumbling and vibration issues that can be felt in the front floorboards even at very low speeds (10 mph) and really bad at around 30 mph. The VW is back at the garage that did the "reverse finish" on the front rotors to see what's what. I asked if they had to remove the bearings to do the rotors and the head mechanic said no. I asked if they may have over torqued them and he said they would have torqued to "factory specs". Giving they did not do the rotors right in the first place I'm not that confident but they have a wall full of ASE certificates so??? Any ideas? George |

Just for grins ask them what are the factory specs.Even money says they
don't know,don't care and the spec is whatever the air gun is set at.A shop did a brake job(non-ACVW),over tightenened the bolt so the pedal pulsed and the rotors were visibly wavey,then to fix it recut the rotors.After the second cut I was told that I should really replace them because now they were close to undersize.But they could sell me new ones.Right.
