Rep Power: 235 Break Pedal Issues...Maybe something else???
today i took my car in to get my tires rotated and get my alignment done. yeah, pretty much routine stuff. everything was fine when i took it in but now......not so much. here is my problem: there is now a whirring sound as if the tire is out of balance and when i apply the brake, it grinds (horribly) and to top it all off!!!! there is major vibration in the brake pedal when driving . the guy at the tire place said they did not touch the brakes at all and that with aftermarket wheels, they can rub on the drum but, i have never had that problem before when rotating. so i do not know WTF is going on here!! if anyone has any ideas, please let me know, thanks!!

Rep Power: 787 if all they did was tire rotation, ya that can cause it. if they moved bad tires from rear to front, you'll feel alot more vibration.

Rep Power: 235 yea, they did a rotation plus alignment.
the tires on the back are basically brand new, do you think there would be as much vibration??? i could get a girl off with movement of that pedal, lol

Rep Power: 235 welp, i just got back from the tire place and here is what is ruled out so far:
1)alignment
2)brakes
3)shoes
4)rotors
5)tires balanced
oh, i forgot to mention this in correlation to gearboxs' comment, they actually move the 'bad' tires, if you will, to the rear and the newer ones to the front
things they checked: everything. they said that the "guard" plate that is behind the rotor may have been rubbing so they pushed those out a bit.
now, it still kind of grinds when compressing the break (but not as bad as before) and the vibration in the pedal itself is minimal as well.
options: go and re-torque the nuts oh you know what i mean. maybe wait a week and see if the problem pursists.
conclusion: hell if i know!
as always, thank you guys for your input!! much appreciated!!
