I just installed brand new Bendix front rotors, Raybestos semi-metallic brakes, cleaned and re-gresed all slides and pins. When I test drove it, it chattered slightly when going around turns (90 degree turns at intersections). It did this even when not braking and going through the turn slowly...felt a bit like the binding of a 4x4 on pavement. Otherwise they work great. Is this just the tackiness of the oils on the rotor and binders in the new pads, or are the brakes dragging? The caliper mounting bolts and wheel lug nuts are torqued OK and the slides were greased.
Any ideas, or is this normal for new rotors until all the junk burns off?
