I'm betting its pad transfer on the rotors causing the shaking and not actually a warped rotor unless you were REALLY heating those things up.

Turning rotors doesn't always fix a warping issue. Once a rotor is warped, it's always warped. Turning them just shaves down the "high spots" which really only turns them into thin spots making it easier to warp again. The only real fix for warped rotors is to replace them.

What's the picture of? I don't get it.

Time for a ralliart? :)

hey Kracka, whats the best way to deal with uneven pad transfer? Would getting the rotors machined help this, if caught early enough? I think I may be having this problem as well.

I've tried explaining this to people before, no one ever listens.

Yup, it's the truth. Thats what I've been learning is suspension and brakes for the first semester at school.


For how much abuse that car has seen in 140k miles, be happy that's all that's wrong. A/C is a waste anyway, makes an automatic car even more boring to drive. :P

[A//// Guy]

Yea 140k, you should expect maintenance items like that to come up. All of them seem pretty minor, you just have to get your hands dirty and figure out what you are doing. So you dont always have to have a friend work on it for you. :)

Getting the rotors turned works but removing metal when you don't need to isn't a good idea. I recommend 120-grit sandpaper, or sometimes just bedding in new pads removes it.
