Ever since I got my front brakes done (by dealer) I feel a bit more vibration at speed...basically from ZERO before to some vibration in the steering wheel...maybe from elsewhere also. initially it was very bad and I went straight back to the dealer and they said there was a rock in the tire...OK, when did that rock get in there?

Also, at low speeds and turning sharp, I sometimes get a groan from the drivers front...it seems to be more often if it is a banked turn, not just flat ground. (maybe suspension travel has something to do with it). it is brake pad groan?

Could the rotors be screwed up or warped? I know they replaced pads AND rotors.

I just went over the 50k (brakes were done at 49.5k) but have CPO warranty. However, this appears to be something they did...but I dunno if they will agree.

I thought about getting the wheels re-balanced/checked but this vibration was definitely right after the brake job.

What do you think? I am considering emailing the service rep and getting his response.

thx

By the title I'd say you have a very happy woman "Groan and vibration"

Have the dealer check the suspension, I had something similar at low speeds and they said they had to 'tighten" up the suspension arms and strut mounts.
