Okay, recently I have had serious problems with the brakes. Vibrations, shimmeys and odd noises. One of them sounded like a hose was about to burst. Don't know which. Well today I changed the pads and suddenly the car drives fine. No problem at all. Well after we were done, we took a look at the old pads and found that they had not been used up but were not worn evenly. They had been worn down at an angle. I'll see if I can post up pics later but has anyone ever had this happen. The bottom of the pad had worn out way before the top. There was atleast half left at the top but almost nothing at the bottom.

Now I'm getting an odd clanking/squeaking sound everytime I hit a bump.

1 problem fixed, another one comes up.

 

best thing to do:

replace the rotors with new ones ($30/ea) and replace the pads ($20/fronts). Bleed the brakes properly (starting from the right rear, move to left rear, then to right front, then finally left front). And see how they feel. If there's still a problem, replace the MC and rebleed (make sure you bench bleed the MC)

 

sounds like it was warp d rotors in the first place

 

It might be your steering links or tie rods. A best way to test it is when the car is stopped. Turn the steering wheel just bearly left and right from center. If there is some play before the wheels turn or if you hear a soft clank, then is your steering links.
