when i'm accelerating with my 97 cl pre. and starts to slow down (cause i see a cop - you know the deal), i notice the steering wheel starts to vibrate. i mean, even though it is not vivid, i can definitely feel it. any idea what it might be/need?

 

rotors are probably warped.

 

rotors or wheel is off balence

 

Pads / rotors might have high and low points, sand them down with some sandpaper. This is common pratice at mechanic shops. Often may people will feel this and get new rotors when they might not have to.

 

Rotors are warped. I got the dealer to fix mine for free at 30K miles.

 

you guys hit the nail right on the head. i got my car to the dealer last night and he said the rotors are warped. the bitch gonna cause me an arm, leg and probably half of my left balls. but Sacramento, i thought you said you got yours done at the dealer for free at 30k? my car is only 35k right now, and he said the rotors, pad, and tires shit are not covered under the manufacturer's warranty... ain't that a bitch, what do this f^&king warranty covers than. how much would you normally pay to get rotors replaced?
