Appreciate the several responses to my inquiry about this issue. Some responses were quiet technical. Queried why front brakes/tires on '01 Camry with less than 30K miles were jerking on long downhill road. Had the car at the dealer for servicing this week. They did a visual inspection of brakes, suspension, front end, etc. and said all was OK. Speculated that I must have been on slick stretch of pavement (no rain that day) and what I experienced was the ABS kicking in. I guess that is possible but answers like that make us non-mechanical types even more wary of noises, vibrations, etc. And that is why we come to newsgroups and forums like this, before letting some shop tell us / charge us whatever they want. Thanks again to all who try to provide logical answers.
