Are any of them worn out or worn down significantly farther that the others? If they are not worn evenly you should rebuild your calipers. Try opening the bleed valve and see if brake fluid drips readily out of both calipers. If either of them fails to drip freely, then you may need to replace the flex line to that caliper. Check the ball joints for excessive play. See the Bentley manual for details. Check the wheel bearings for excessive play. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
