break problems!! help
Hello everybody,
I just had Midas do my breaks-resurfacing my rotors and replacing the break pads. The breaks work break, but I'm encountering some problems that I would like to get your thoughts on. I'm going to take my car back to Midas to get it rechecked but I want to know what I'm dealing with.
When I turn my steering exremely to the right, I'm hearing weird noises. While moving forward turning right, I hear some sort of a faint squeal. When reversing with the steering wheel to the right, I hear a slight grinding. Also, it seems that my parking breake has tightened significantly.
Any idea what might be wrong?

Now your parking brake is normal. They adjusted it for you. Now it is tighter.

well, the sound is a lot more than faint, and i'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with me pushing the breaks, I think that it has more to do with the movement of the rotor.

With the grinding, is it coming from the front or rear? In the front, it is the pads shifting around in the brackets. OEM fit loose.
