i dont recall my H3 doing this before and i've slammed on the brakes a few times before. do most of you just live with it?

No, it's not normal. One of us had a problem with the tranasfer case (f5fstop) and a few of us with the brake pads. Fourfourto and I had the rear pads chamfered and it took care of the problem. Good luck! Let us know what happens.

Mark make sure they put disk brake lube on the shims also.
Hmmm Im still quiet
4000 miles+

The dealer did use disk brake quiet spray and you could see were it was rubbing or vibrating,hopefully the lube last longer.
I think at the next tire rotation I will relube even if noise doesn't come back by then..

I'll take the H3 in to have them look at it.

Sounds good to me! I've been quiet, too!
