Subject:   What to do about brakes
Content-type:   text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Have just joined the list and have leaned alot about my 86 Westy (weekender).

I need some help. I just had the brakes replaced - both front and back. While driving on the highway I noticed that the brakes would vibrate when I had to stop. I searched the Archives of this listserve and found some discussion about the vibration being related to the rotors and/or cylinders. I returned to the service provider with my complaint and they said that they would check for the problem for no additional cost. Today I drove the highways again and the brakes still vibrate. I had asked if they did a road test and they said ,"yes". My guess is that they only drove on local roads and did not feel any vibration.

Am I over-reacting or do I need to keep insisting that they correct the problem?

Barb
