Default H3 Brake And Bearing Issues

My 2009 H3 Adventure started having some brake issues, pulsing when braking. I figured a rotor was warped and finally took it to get checked out by a local reputable mechanic shop. They told me whoever had the truck before me put cheap rotors on and all four were warped the pads were shot and I needed a wheel bearing. I knew it was going to be expensive and asked for a quote - $1500.

I was not happy with that so I parked it for a couple weeks until I had time to get another quote. I went to another reputable shop and this time the initial quote was $1000. I ended up having to get the work done and the secondary quote when we were getting ready to do the work - $1500.

The work is done but I'm feeling a bit of a vibration, like a thrumming at speeds above 45 through the the accelerator and steering wheel.

Do you think they didn't do the bearing job right or could it be something else?

For the kind of money you paid, I would call back the shop, tell them something is not right, let them look at it again.

I took it back. The "new" bearing was defective. Now for some new shocks and control arm bushings.
