not that important but...

its actually not a big deal i think, and its been happening for a while on and off, i just got around to posting it now, with the forums being down so often anyway

sometimes, and ONLY at under 1mph speeds, when i brake, i hear a rumbling, and the car shakes, but only at slow speeds, for example, im slowly rolling forward at a red light, or pulling into a parking spot, something of that nature

any clue?

Are you still on stock suspension? If you've dropped your Max, that's lowering springs for ya

Seriously though, sounds like a bad bearing. They tend to go before even before your struts get worn out. Your axle is not going to snap that easily, but I'm not sure if this issue is covered by powertrain or something?

taking my car in for extended warranty bearing replacement on Sat. Putting the stock rotors back on first and hopefully they won't try any BS about my springs causing it to go bad.....soonerfan's boy at the dealer better hook it up!

btw, if all goes well, I will have a brand-new spare bearing (the one I ordered). If they do the work under warranty, I'll sell the extra bearing to you otakueric for $60 shipped, what I bought it for....
