alright. Today i went to attend an event at Centerville here in Arkansas. It was called "Import Shootout" or something like that. Although that was what it was called, only 1/3 of the number of cars where imports. LOL. The other 2/3 consisted of Dodge's, Ford's, and Chevy's. But yes...back to what I was going to say. I was kinda planning on making a quick run. But on the way there with all the curves and turns my celi started actin' funny. The check engine light came on.....my front left wheel started stinking like burning rubber....and the car would kinda vibrate(or maybe have been slightly wobbling) whenever I stepped on the brakes! It didn't vibrate that bad but then I could feel it under my feet a little and through the steering wheel. The brakes and the d/s rotors are new, I just put them in recently. My tires weren't burning though too! Does anyone have any idea as to what might have happened?

Does anyone have any idea as to what might have happened? might wanna check your cv boot for leakage.....about your vibration, i would think its the wheel bearing going out but not quite sure.....any plans to the mechanic???? --------------------  |

sounds like you didn't tighten something when you did the brakes
as for the check engine light... check the code -------------------- |
