Early last year, replace the rear pads - all is well
Mid December, my front brakes failed and I replaced the front pads and all was well again.
This morning, under heavy braking, the car swerved to the left and stopped once i took my foot off the brake...strange...did it even under light braking..
all of a sudden, car starts shaking at about 40mph from the front right as if im loosing a wheel.
Get out of the car, check the wheel, both the front and back alloys on the drivers side are coated/welded with brake dust (nice white alloys now power coated in black dust) front alloy is roasting hot but pads look ok, rear pads have disappeared. Other side is fine.
Jacked up front of car and wobbled drivers side front wheel about - clonks back a forth a tiny bit side to side.
Anyone got any ideas?
