Services Performed
- Completed engine oil and filter replacement. Replaced the drain plug gasket and torqued the plug. Reset the maintenance reminder.
- Lifted the vehicle up for an inspection. Tried spinning the wheel to check for weight and bends, noticed that the wheel was way harder to rotate than normal. Removed all of the wheels and found that the front brake pads were very different depths. The driver side front caliper is locked up, recommend replacing the caliper, pads and rotors.
- Removed front wheel and replaced DS caliper with OEM caliper. Replaced pads and rotors – both sides. Bled front brakes. Replaced pad wear sensors with new. Installed front wheels and torqued all 4 wheels to spec. Test drove to bed in pads and verified vibration was not felt at hwy speeds. Found inner pad on ds was seized into caliper bracket, pad material seperated from backing plate due to overheating. Outside moved freely but pad backing is warped. PS bleed screw had no cap, was completely blocked and would not bleed. Removed bleed screw to try and clean but it was too rusted and could not get cleared. Recommend replacing bleeder screw when brake fluid is due. Bled DS and gravity bled PS, brake pedal is firm, no leaks visible after repairs completed. Verified wheel/vehicle rolls freely after bedding in new pads.
