For a couple of months, I was hearing a clicking noise in my front tire, as well as a thumping noise when I braked (could also be felt in the brake pedal, but stops the harder I push) Then one day I pulled into a parking lot, going over the curb, heard a loud thunk and pulled into a parking spot, where my car was stuck. I got out to look, and saw that my front pass. side tire was turned in. Took the car to the mechanic, and had to have both tie rod ends replaced. Since then, the thumping has gotten worse. My Dad believes that is sounds like a warped rotor. He had to replace his rotors on his old car (mid 80's Ford Tempo), and is willing to replace mine. My question is, does anybody know how hard it is to change rotors on a Dodge Neon? Is it anything like changing a rotor on an old Ford Tempo? He said it was really easy on that car, so we are hoping it is easy on my car as well.
