Karsh,
Since you don't have 4-wheel abs it sounds to me like something might be
wrong. I had a similar problem a long time ago on my '68 mustangs front disc
brakes and it ended up being a sticking piston on one side. But that is only
one side and the other should still do what it is supposed to. I would keep
taking it to the dealer until they look at it. I have a vibration/noise
coming from the left front wheel and have not been able to get anythig done.
Been told it is bad tires. Hmmmm, rotated them and it didn't go away so I
got new tires and it still didn't go away. They are still trying to blame
the tires but I know it's not. It does sound like bad tires but it only
happens when turning left and at a speed of 45 or higher. Oops, I ranted on
about my problem. Just keep bugging the dealer until they do something to
get rid of you.
