Brake Wobble & Steering Issues

Hello,

Here are two observations I've made about our golf course:

(1)
- The brakes were making a rubbing noise, so I replaced the front brake pads and rotors with new VW parts.
- Now (I'll provide the age and mileage of the brakes later), the rattling sound is back.

(2)
My wife always brakes too much when she's maneuvering.
That's causing the front brakes to squeal.

Now, the question is:
Can (2) somehow wear down the glass in certain areas to the point where (1) is created?

The TÜV inspector today confirmed that the wheel bearings are functioning correctly, even after being specifically asked about them in relation to the brake noise.

I don't want to have to pay for another set of brake pads again.

Do you see anything in the diagram of the discs?

No, not really.

I couldn't "see" anything unusual on the old windshields either, even the ones that had been replaced due to scratches.

I haven't yet dared to put your idea of hot-air braking into practice.

Hello,

The brakes only show noticeable wear when they need to convert a significant amount of energy (i.e., a good amount of wheel speed plus braking pressure). This is unlikely to happen when the vehicle is almost stationary.

However, I would try to discourage her from that behavior, primarily to protect the steering components .

Even after coming to a stop, the brake pads can still "hold" onto the hot brake discs, which can cause uneven cooling and warping of the material.
