I believe you mean warped rotors. You need to tell us more about your driving habits, commute, type of rotors, pads etc..... Help us help you by providing more info/detail.

I recommend upgrading from the Napa brakes to one of our Stoptech brake packages. They include pads and rotors for all four corners and will offer better heat dissipation, and are not as likely to "warp" (uneven pad deposit). They are also made from higher quality materials than the Napa brakes. We have many of our brake packages in stock and ready to ship.

Could it be your piston getting stick or not going back all the way, causing the pad not returning correctly and rubbing on your rotor?

Thanks i will look into that. Do you think an alignment could cause this

When replacing your rotors, make sure you're doing the bedding process : https://www.tirerack.com/brakes/tech....jsp?techid=85


If you're braking and the steering wheel shakes, then it's the brake rotors being warped.


If you're not braking and the steering wheel shakes, it's a suspension or wheel issue.

This. Hopefully its brakes since it's a bit easier to correct than susp/wheels.
Because then you are talking ball joints, outer tie rods, alignment. etc.
