Re: Brakes or wheel bearing problem?

Thanks for all the suggestions. It turned out to be a seized caliper. After completely disconnecting the caliper and attempting to compress the piston with a C-Clamp it would not budge. New caliper is installed and things are working well!

For those who have high mileage, have you experienced any issues besides the regular consumable parts that need to be replaced, struts, cat, breaks etc?My Vibe is crashed and I'm thinking about bidding on a 2003 vibe (with 18...

Re: Wow... should i be worried? ... (ColonelPanic)

Well it looked like the air filter was seated correctly. I'm planning to call the dealership and see if they will look it over. They should, and as someone else stated have them make a record of that incase of future damage. I take it the the Arrow Pontiac dealership. It's south of St. paul on Rober...
