When put to bed; parking brake first, then in gear or neutral? Not a question for lawdevil
Gary in SoFL - Tuesday, 27 November, 2012, at 9:27:03 am

Pad material transfer to a stationary rotor can cause the juddering that feels like a warped rotor. NM
Laz - Tuesday, 27 November, 2012, at 10:03:59 am

I don't think the parking brake will have an effect on the rotors/pads.
Guenter in Ontario - Tuesday, 27 November, 2012, at 11:13:23 am

Right. To be clear, I was speaking only of a caliper pad and disc rotor. NM
Laz - Tuesday, 27 November, 2012, at 11:19:28 am

With some pads, such as HWAK HPS (which i hate witha passion) this is significant

It's a good idea to take the parking brake off after a thorough car wash; otherwise: snap/bang.
