Had my personal mechanic (boyfriend) listen to an odd sound coming from the front driver's side tire on Sunday. Sounds like he needs to pull the tire off and have a look at the rotor, because the sound (a tok-tok-tok-tok once the rotors are warm and the car decelerates) makes him think something's going on there. We're doing that on Saturday.
Miss Peanut only has 25,000 km on the odo. And the sound only started recently, after the shop I use for tire storage and changeover did the swap about a month ago. Their included "inspection" trumpeted a dire warning about calipers and slider pins, blah blah blah. My boyfriend disagreed based on the images they provided, and his own visual inspection at the time. Sometimes I think they lightly sabotage things to make money by making people come back.
I started using a shop for tire swaps to save his back, but he seems to think that he does a better job, and I'm inclined to agree. Never had this problem before. Then again, Mazda's OEM rotors are known to be shite, so who knows. It's just too coincidental for my taste, though.
