it may not be "normal" but it is a common issue that comes up with the camaros when they are washed and parked.

I use a master blaster and it still does it to a degree although far less.

I thought you were gonna say it won't move after washing because it doesn't want to get dirty! I've never experienced this though.

I never get this

The only issue with my stock brakes is they squeak and squeel after the car has been sitting for awhile.

Believe me it sounds a lot worse then it actually is. The pop is nothing more then the pad freeing itself from the rusted rotor.

I was actually going to suggest this but it has never happened to me and I haven't heard of it happening before

Learn something new every day. Thanks!

It's has happened to me in my cars and my motorcycles . I ride the brakes a little if I park right after a wash.

Hmmm... I have never had a problem such as this.

Same thing happens to me if I garage immediately after washing it. Startled my wife the first time it happened to her. She thought she had broken something!

Rctreece · 01-13-2014, 08:04 PM

I agree.

It is not normal, even after a wash.
In over 40 years of driving, I have never had that happen.

Have washed many cars over the years and pulled them straight into the garage.
Never a problem.

They must be washin em with super glue...

LuSe4 · 01-13-2014, 08:29 PM

Mine does this as well. It is normal if you don't dry the rotors before parking it. Not a big deal, but it does startle you if you aren't ready for it.

Not one cheap shot that the OP has a six cyl., proud of you all!
