Default Re: front brake noise

slightly off topic, and I'm hoping this was just a fluke, but I had to jump start my lawn tractor and after I was done I shut the hood just like any other time, not too high up but didn't feather it down either. Anyhow the next day I was out at night and thought I had a headlight out, I go out and it's not out the inside had broken. Took it to the dealer and they said they re-installed some sort of spacer and used "foam tape" to fix it, well next night the headlight is still aimed about 2 feet in front of the truck and it wiggles like crazy! So as they were putting on the wheels today, I asked them to look at the headlight issue again.

Got a call today saying they had to order a new headlight, so they are keeping her till tomorrow...

I don't know about how well this truck will hold up, so far the back springs were replaced (bottomed out with a relatively light load) now the new ones squeak like crazy, the wheels bubbling/corroding, the headlight, and a clutch pedal that has to be lubed every 1,000 miles or so because it starts creaking. I've only got 17,000 miles on this truck... not looking so great for the future... or am I being picky?

I also think that the engine taps a bit much for a brand new engine. Sounds like someone tapping a screwdriver on metal... Also the blower fan ticks like crazy on the lower speeds and on high it sounds and feels like it's unbalanced....

Anyhow anyone else having any of these issues?
