I was hoping some one would hit on the torque of the lug nuts....very important to torque them to proper ft lbs.. or lb ft as they say these days...When I was a kid and didn't know any better I would spin my 4 way and then ref on it till I thought it was good... warped, out of round, runout.. what ever... they would pulse and carry on in no time... then i learned a new trick.. and it really matters...torque them in a criss cross pattern and they will be happy and so will you! Bedding brakes.. I heard a different way to do it. drive up to 30 mph then brake firm but not hard to almost a stop.. do this about 10 times and they should be good. Always heard it was a bad thing to get new brakes real hot when new cause they would glaze and then suck forever! just my opinion....[laugh]

In order to solve problems and and gain collective knowledge proper terms need to be used, or a continued misunderstand of a solution to this issue will result. This is not a tomato/tomahto issue.

Sometimes there are better ways to explain to people when the dictionary words don't go into the head, like through examples but I agree with you that when it comes to coined terms we have to apply it correctly if we want people to understand what we mean.
