Default Quick help

couple of things!
1.) when i stop short a stop light(brake hard) my steering acts very funny. It either pulls to one side...commonly the left, but today it was shaking!! and it took both hands on the wheel to keep the car in my lane. It really isnt as dramatic as it may sound, but its awfully annoying!!! and i think it has somthing to do with brakes, im almost 100% it does!!

2.) does anyone know the way to get a golf ball size dent of out your door? Its on the bottom and i think my ****head neighbor did it...i cant prove it though!!

thanks for help!

From what I've read, if your ride has major suspension mods-you might need a bumpsteer kit.

As far as your brakes are concerned, you probably need rotors and pads, at tbare minimum. You might also need new front calipers, when a car pulls one way or another it usually means that one of the calipers is doing more work than the other, which would indicate a siezed caliper. You might be able to get away with just cleaning and lubing up the slides, but if the piston is sticking youll need new cals.

Pads, Rotors...I think that one is obvious. As far as the dent, there are a lot of paintless dent repair places. Depending where the dent is, they shouldn't have any trouble popping it out. The cost usually varies on the size of the dent. I would expect to pay about $75. Hope that helps.
