Help!!Grinding Noise When Turning After STS installed Rotors!
I need your guys advice here is the story:
I went to STS on Route 18 on at the end of august to get new tires put on and powerslot rotors/hawk pads put on in front. A week later I started hearing a grinding noise when making left turns, medium to hard left turns coming from the front passenger side wheel. I just took my car back to the shop today to have them check it out since the prob happened after the installation. I come back after 2 1/2 hours and they tell me they didn't hear it, so i take them for a drive and they hear it. So I wait another hour and w/o even taking off the wheel they tell me it could be a bearing or a faulty rotor and they would charge me to take apart the brakes and check it out. BS!!!! They should have checked it for a faulty installation for free!! they barely did anything except for drive the car and check it visually. Then he starts saying it could be the aftermarket wheels causing strain on the car cause no offset is perfect except the factory wheels and that aftermarket wheels are only for looks!!! What kind of crap is this he is feeding me, aftermarket wheels can def be used performance wise and are not just for looks!!! What if a car has steelies from the factory are perfect for the car!!! What should i do, I have a feeling they installed them wrong and don't want to even check it w/o me paying for it!!
Sorry kinda of long but had to vent, especially after the aftermarket wheel BS he was telling me!

it's normal 99.9% people who installed powerslot rotors/hawk pads have this problem cause hawk ate two hard of a compound. people just went back to OEM pads or other company (axxis, bendix) with Hawk and powerslot it will stop in10 ft lesser than OEM pads
