just another question, when I break, the whole car shudders..

what could that be from.. I have been told it's the rotos, then i have been told it's not the rotors :hmmm:

 

[Cameron P]

run your finger adown the rotors (not straight after you have driven it ) and do they feel wavey?

you will more then likely have warped rotors!? so either get them machined or some brand spankers

 

[justagirl86]

thanks, but what are rotors haha

 

[Cameron P]

they are the round metal plates behind all 4 of your wheels, about 16-18inch in diameter

basically when you push your foot on the brake.. your pushing metal brake pads which clamp onto the brake rotor, therefore causing friction and slowing your car down... so if its warped it will cause a shudder throught your vehichle

Yep sounds like warped rotors,with the price of new rotors i wouldnt get them machined, just get new ones.
