Just wanted to share this...

For the past week or so my car was feeling sluggish. I didn't do anything to the engine. But, yesterday, I took my front driver's side tire off to do some measurements (hmmm, I wonder what for ). In any case, this morning, when I drove to work, the car felt totally different, it was riding smoother than ever and I felt the power!!! I thought maybe it was all in my head, but it was the same when I drove home, I even took the long way home just so I could enjoy it! I have no idea what happened, but I can't wait til tomorrow so I can drive to work! D'oh, can't believe I just said that!

 

If it's not in your head, the only thing I can come up with is perhaps your brake caliper was binding a bit, causing the brake to drag and making the car feel similar to having the emergency brake on ever so slightly. Usually though, if that hppens you'll feel either a steering pull to one side or a pull when braking, and also smell the brake linings, depending how badly it was binding.


Other than maybe freeing something like that up when you removed the wheel, I haven't a clue. Hope it stays fixed though!
