Yes! Good memory. My thread! Lots of good advice was given. No, my SUV is not devouring brakes. My rear brakes were done in May. I did not need front pads or rotors at that time. I got the front brakes and rotors this time. They were shuddering and I also got new tires, so it's smooth like...

I did contact the company (NuBrakes, again - they come to your house). And I let them know the brakes were squealing on that side when I turned left. The company sent back a response that it sounds like the brakes are operating normally and it's common to sometimes hear a squeaking as part of...

Thank you. It just did not sound like most of the car noises I could find online (they were more scraping, dragging, and also more frequent for other people).

Thank you. No, I cannot get this on a jack at the moment. I suppose that is the next piece of equipment I should buy (an axle stand).

Hello. I have a 2017 Mazda CX-5 with 132, 000 miles. I am the only owner. I am trying to figure out the cause of a specific noise that has started to happen. On Thursday, I got 4 new tires. Everything was good. On Saturday I had my brakes replaced (pads and rotors) and an oil change. Everything...

The service I used was a brakes only mobile service in the United States. They come to your house and lift and service. It is appealing because you can schedule work on a day and you wont have to rent a vehicle for a week. The tech that did the first install I believe didn't have the quality...

Yes. And I watched him put the car in service mode with instructions and take it out. When he arrived I immediately said I have an EPB and I don’t think the last person put it in service mode.

Thank you! I didn’t take your advice badly. I work in the criminal justice system and I am in contact with an entire range of people. I will agree that there are some places / people that see a female and think that we don’t know anything and may be taken advantage of. I like to learn about...

Thank you all for your help. This morning a different tech came out and inspected the brake job. It appears that the first installment the tech did not pull the pins and clean or lubricate them. So the pins were sticking. The good news is there is no damage to the boot and no debris appeared...

I went ahead and put all the parts in the Mazda parts website with the dealership that is closest for the cost. (There is another dealership closer, but they do not come up listed on the parts options) All the parts for both rear sides - calipers and rotors and pads with tax and shipping total...

That is now my thought as well. This is disheartening as it may be getting very expensive.

Thank you for the response. I went out and photographed both rear brakes for comparison. I have a 2017 (Manufacture date 7/2017) CX-5. Its obvious that one side really got fricking hot. And that is correct, I had not had any braking issues prior to this installation. Normal wear down of the...
