In addition to changing out brakes and pads - which was planned - a noticeable shimmy-shake had recently started occurring on the front end. Analysis by same location as eventual repair indicated front left caliper rub/misalignment, so service included was my decision to replace both.

Stopping power also significantly better with new brake equipment (plus brake fluid exchange as part of routine maintenance schedule). |
