Suddenly hit with massive front end braking shakes. Could feel the brakes skipping and hitting the rotor so have spent the week downshifting to get under 20mph.

Wondering if you guys have ran into this. I just put new rotors and hawk HPS pads on the car last night, drove it about 30km and checked it this morning to find the following; it's an odd wear on the top side of the rotor (left and right both the same). It's being ground down on an angle... I...

I am replacing the front rotors and pads on a 2015 Buick Verano and have a few questions: 1. Does anyone know the torque specs for the caliper bolts and the caliper mounting bracket bolts? 2. Are the caliper mounting bolts a torque-to-yield bolt that needs to be replaced with each removal...
