Greetings, I just had my brakes replaced and now, during the final portion of braking, 10 MPH and below, the brakes sound like a squeegee wiping water off an almost dry glass window. As this is happening, it feels as if the brakes are loosing some of their effectiveness. The noise seems to be coming from the front. Thoughts? Thanks.

My car does that too sometimes. The balljoints and suspension bushings need to be replaced on my car. With all the stress placed on the front end in that situation, the free play in the balljoints and the slop in the original rubber bushings makes things wiggle around quite a bit. A previous car I owned with a similar front suspension design did the exact same thing, and after the front end was rebuilt, no more wobble! Thank you for your insight. Did the front end give any other indications of wear?

Here's one, I have a 98 LS 400 and when slowly turning full right out of a stationary position, the car wobbled as if it had a flat tire during the entire 180 degree maneuver. The wobble seemed to coincide with the tire rotation speed. All the tires/wheels looked fine. I was able to partially reproduce the wobble only once. I had the car serviced four weeks prior to the incident and the front end received a Toe alignment. Other than this the car drives smoothly at all speeds. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
