Ok, I had a torn passenger front CV boot. I replaced the entire axle. Everything looks good.
I go to test drive the car and all seems fine, right up until I bring the car to a complete stop. I get this noise/vibration in the brake pedal just before coming to a complete stop, combined with a slight studdering/jerking of the car.
I know that it's a problem with the front brakes because I can e-brake the car to a stop and it never does it. I don't get this noise/vibration at any other time during the braking process - only right before the car comes to a hault; which, is why I don't think it's a warped rotor or pad not seating correctly. I would think if it were either of those issues, that I would feel it throughout the time that the car is braking; as opposed to this noise/feeling that comes on like a light switch just before I stop.
I went to test drive it again today, and was able to determine that the sound is identical to the sound that you hear after just starting the car, where a relay or something clicks and you can feel your brakes become 'power' brakes. This sound is the same sound that I get before coming to a complete stop, only accompanied by a jerking of the car and grinding/vibrating feeling in the brake pedal.
Thoughts?
