Noise In The Front of My Car When Braking
I am a relatively new driver and I recently had a new power steering rack put into my car. Since then, I have noticed a clunking sound on the front left hand side of the car when I brake. It doesn't happen all the time, mostly when I have to brake suddenly or when I am braking & turning or going in/out of driveways and over speed bumps.

Brake Rotors Continually Warp 2005 Peugeot 307HDI
I have a 2005 Peugeot 307HDI, every 10000 km about the disks warp, I have been given every excuse in the book but to fix the problem. The car have now 83000km on but it has been replaced like 8 times already. Surely there must be something else wrong, I have once almost crashed due to steering wheel vibration and nearly lost control, seems like Peugeot is not to interested but just replace it every time

2004 Hyundai Sonata Front Brake Pads Worn Out Prematurely?
My question involves brakes. I have a 2004 Hyundai Sonata that had the brake pedal go to the floor recently while my wife was driving it. Sounds like a broken brake line, had it towed to a dealer, and I was told that it was not a brake line, but the pads on the right front were down to 3 percent no metal to metal yet and it needed a 4 wheel brake job no
rotors needed at a cost of $400 plus.

Acura Brake Pads – How Long Should They Last
At my last service, I had 61,466 miles on my Acura car and they documented my brakes as having 7 MM lining. Yesterday, I went to a different Acura dealership for the first time, my miles were 66,104, and they said I only have 1.8 MM lining on my brakes. Is it possible? Could I have worn my breaks that much in less than 5,000 miles, or is someone lying to me?
