Hi guys am new to this thread.
Hope am doing this right. I read in the thread that some people had problems with steering wheel vibrations during brake application. I curently have this problem second time and it occurs after approx 60,000k. is there a solution to this problem or is it suck it up and just get the discs machined, my dealer stated it is the first time he has heard of it :roll:
By the look of the thread a few have had the problem, but no fix um up offered. :?:
Sorry if not doing ths right, shift work messes with your brain :?

Re: brake vibration

Rotors are so cheap these days, that most mechanics I have dealt with are reccomending replacing them rather than machining. That said, the last time mine were due, I had them machined, not replaced. Tip.... don't try to skimp and use the old pads, irrespective of what life they have left. Machining or new rotors, means new pads as well. Have a talk to your mechanic about the pads he reccomends. Some are great for stopping power, but chew out rotors. Some cause greater heat buildup etc etc. Get the pads that suit your driving habbits.
