That would be unusual. >Is this the way it is on any Saabs? Or is the Saturn dealer feeding me a >bunch of BS ??? Sounds like a bit of BS to me. THe brakes may need to be done. But, I can't see how a rotor would have uneven wear unless there's a design issue with the caliper applying uneven pressure. I've never heard of that. Calipers have not changed all that much in the last 40 years... I'd be surprised if that's a real issue. There's no word of that in Saabville. Bob
