If it has a pull, then there might be a problem with a caliper or even a warped rotor. When you did the brakes, did you simply scuff the rotors, or did you have them surfaced or replaced? It actually sounds like a warped rotor to me.
I checked the caliper, pads and rotors all looked fine. Lubed everything up, burped the brake fluid and it still was making the noise. Finally broke down and took it to the dealer. LF hub bearing failure. $510. Hope to get it back from "API" my extended warranty company, but they filed for bankruptcy last year and they're still in the courts. thanks for your advice.

just because the dealer says thats the problem I won't give them any payment unless you test drive it first....too many have heard that story before...

did they put it in writing 510.00 is the total cost for this fix......make sure they do in your hand before they start working on it...and make sure your gas cap is locked...

I did get to drive it for a day before payment. It's all good now. But I think that I have a problem with the intermediate steering shaft knocking around AGAIN.

Did I read that there is a recall on this?

I did check my fuel level before dropping it off, it was the same when I picked it up.
