Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Assume (hoping) it's just pads, rotors and sensors for the front. Replaced rears 10K miles ago. Just replaced front axles earlier this year. What should I expect to pay at my independent shop?

POST 2Original post

Quotes source post: 20718843

Factory parts are around 1700 Aftermarket 600 2 hours of labor. I assumed this is a 4s

POST 3Original post

Quotes source post: 20718843

If the pads and rotors still have some life left in them, and assuming everything on the suspension and brake system is functioning properly, you can find an open parking lot and do some heavy braking to clean up the pads and rotors. Same exercise as bedding in brakes. Sometimes crap gets stuck on the rotors and causes the vibration. Happens on the track quite a bit.

POST 4Original post

If you plan on going the route of changing out the pads and rotors, this might help you find what you need. https://landedparts.com/n/kds38cbf I think I got the right part numbers for you.
