#1 of 5 S-70 Brakes and Rotors by rmiddlesworth
Feb 24, 2009 (2:26 pm)
I have a 1998 s-70 that my wife drives with our children and have been recently told that the brakes and rotors need to be replaced. I am handy and capable of doing the work (I think) but lack the technical expertise of evaluating whether I need new brakes and rotors (or not.) Can anyone help a novice determine whether I need this work done or not. And if so, how difficult would it be for me to order the parts and do the work myself?Thanks to all the reply.
Raymond

Our 98 S70 speedometer has an intermitted problem. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. It would be nice to know how fast you are going?#5 of 5 what's that noise by llee35
