Hey guys,

I recently had all my brake pads and rotors changed at the dealership. A few weeks later, I start hearing a clunking noise when I brake at low speeds, in traffic for example (around 20 km/hr). The noise comes from front driver side. Took the car to the dealership. They said it was a faulty rotor and replaced it. A few weeks later, I notice the same noise again. This only happens after I've been driving a bit. The dealership says the wheel bearing and hub need to be replaced. This noise only happens when I have driven quite a bit, expansion and then only when I brake at low speeds.

Does this diagnosis sound right? This will cost me around $450 after I just spent a fortune on brakes.

Post a sound clip. May be easier.

I'd also suggest getting a second opinion from a trusted mechanic ( maybe jimmy, ridgeway, or others suggested from members, depending on where your from)
