Danial B., any suggestions on this prob?
1. The brakes on 95 Max make a loud sort of grinding noise under regular braking after travelling at highway speeds for more than 10 minutes. I've had the brakes looked at 3 times from a shop I trust and all 3 times they have told me I have plenty of pad left. What could it be?
2. Also at speeds over 55mph I get high pitched wind noise from the windshield. I suspect it is not the factory windshield. How can I tell and is there any way to fix the noise aside from installing a new one.
3. Above 70mph I get a moderate vibration I think from the front end? Tires and wheels out of balance?
2. Also at speeds over 55mph I get high pitched wind noise from the windshield. I suspect it is not the factory windshield. How can I tell and is there any way to fix the noise aside from installing a new one.
3. Above 70mph I get a moderate vibration I think from the front end? Tires and wheels out of balance?

A second method would be to apply a strip of duct tape over the windshield gasket, on the outside of the car. Put a strip only on the top, then only on the bottom, then only the left side, then only the right side. Home in on the spot which generates the objectionable whistling sound. If you find any kind of gap, goop it up with some sort of cement.

- tire out of round
- tire defect (bulge or tread ply separation)
- bent wheel
- bent hub
- worn tie rod ends
- worn ball joints
A good procedure would be to have all four wheels balanced. If the symptom persists, rotate the tires exchanging fronts and rears. If the symptom changes, it is related to wheels or tires. If the symptom remains, it is related to a vehicle defect.
