Right side wheel bearings?
Speedo79@aol.com had this to say:
>Dear Listers:
>
>Lately I have noticed a problem with brake shimmy and pulling to the right
>during medium to hard stops. I pulled the front wheels and noticed that the
>right rotor is warped (brakes alternatively catching and releasing as wheel
>in spun). I also noticed that the pads on the right side are almost worn
>away, while the rotor and pads on the left front side look almost new. I
>replaced the right rotor (bad ridges and warping) when I replaced the brake
>pads about a year and a half ago. After that, I noticed no pulling or
>shimmy
>until recently. I bleed the brakes about every six months, and have about
>two inches of brake pedal travel. I am planning to replace both front
>rotors
>when I get the new pads in this weekend.
>My question: could there be something wrong with my right calipers (or my
>left ones) to cause my brakes to wear so unevenly and cause two ruined right
>rotors in less than four years?
>
>I thank you for all your suggestions,

Runs great,
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
