Interesting,...My brakes on my 00 OB started pulsating at 20K miles and
stayed that way until I bit the bullet and had them turned at 40K plus
replacing the pads. The reason that I believe it happened was because I
rotated the tires in my garage at about 19 K and didn't know I had to
equally torque all the lug nuts to 60 Lbs. They went downhill in a rush
after that. I retorqued them at about 22K but most of the damage was
already done. Who rotates your tires and have you watched him do it? I now
have 60K on the car and it still breaks smooth as silk.

The brakes pulsate and grab. Rotars were turned on front at 23K. At 33K
brake pads are cracked and rotars worn; both are being replaced under
warranty. Is this common on Subarus? What can I expect in the future? My
VW Rabbit went 203K, Honda Civic 127K and still kicking, and Ford Aerostar
114K all with no such problems, so I don't think it is caused by my driving
habits. Input? Thank you!
