Brake Problems on a 960 900 95

posted by  someone claiming to be Myron on  Sun Sep 16 02:19 CST 2001 [RELATED]

About 9 mo ago I had Car X (don't give me a hard time!!) put rotors and pads

all the way around on my 70K mi wagon. 3 mo ago, the brakes were shuddering

again when coming to a stop. They turned the front rotors, told me that the

calipers were Ok and sent me on my way. 2 mo later (the car now has 80K mi

on it) same problem. I took it back to them yesterday and tthey said that

it is PROBABLY the calipers and that they would replace them for me for

approx $390. By the way there is a hot stripe on one rotor, and that wheel

does seem to drag compared to the other one. When I asked about the rotors,

he said that he would give me 2 front ones under warranty.

Questions:

1.Am I being ripped off on the calipers? $180 each sounds high to me.

2. should I just go to Volvo and have them do it (obviously they will charge

me for the rotors)

3. Should I just do it myself?

Myron
