    recently ive posted a thread about my suspension issues where my whole front suspension was shot and i recieved valueable info thanks:thumbs2:

    If its a warped rotor...you could drive it for a week.If its a drum...I would fix it immediately...warped then wet from a puddle can you say "uncontrollable lane changes"... Either way its your brakes,If they aint right,your asking for trouble.Fix as soon as possible.

    Fix it. Especially if your suspension is old stuff ,it just beats it up more.

    I waited once on an old truck. Foggy morning, light turned yellow, I tried to brake to stop before running it red.

    Well, I ran it red, but facing backwards. The front right locked up and the rear came around and I slid through the red light backwards at about 35 mph.

    So, just keep driving on them, if you wish...:16suspect

    What's your address? I've got some used brake fluid and 3 slightly used pads you can have.
