Re: '99 OBS CC SWB Brake Issue

Well, that's not surprising. I once bought a new pair of drums for my Blazer and experienced a pedal pulsing when stopping. I removed the drums and took them back to the store to have them check them and sure enough they were out of round. Brand new too. They trued them up and I reinstalled them and all was good. I had a "mechanic" tell me "oh I always have all new rotors and drums turned before I put them on". I said a brand new part is supposed to be finished right and ready to install. The store manager told me new rotors and drums and such were just dropped in a crate or bin after machining process and stored that way until packaging. Some warping happens. So they don't automatically turn them for you. You have to ask them to do so and pay for the turning of course on top of the cost of the parts. Totally ridiculous.
