      I have yet to check on my pads but I do notice an increase in pull to the right whenever I stopped at a light or something when I got my new wheels. It might have something to do with the pads.

      So it might just be an issue with the car's design regarding weight distribution or if you don't transport people on the passenger side very often, it might wear it down more or something, I don't know.

      I'm at the 26-27k mile mark so I gotta get it checked soon anyway.

      do the ones on e-bay actually fit the the aveo? i was thinkin about buyin them but they dont look like they would fit but then again i dont know alot about brakes either.

      i also noticed the pull to the right when i use the brakes. i also noticed that that sides suspension is also crappy on my car, lots of lil clunks and clicks. connection?
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      yeah the ones from R1concepts do fit... a few members bought them. theres a different seller on ebay that i tried to contact... and they didnt even bother, i sent them two emails too.

      so if you buy some buy from r1concepts. i think he has even posted on this forum a few times.

      I've noticed that my Aveo feels like it's slightly leaning to the left when I have no passengers. Could it be my imagination or are the springs really that weak? My brakes have been chattering, too, and it's only at 10k miles.

      I just recently noticed my car was pulling to the left on the highway. It's at 45k and has always driven straight. I'm gonna swap front tires to see if it's radial pull or maybe just to much e-brake drifting
